It was gathered that on Monday, May, the first wife of actor, Yul Edochie, allegedly began divorce proceedings against her estranged spouse.
More alleged was that May and her counsel reportedly visited a court on July 10, to submit a petition for the dissolution of her 18-year-old marriage to the actor. According to sources, Yul has refused to be served the originating summons.

May who has never hidden her disapproval of his union with Judy, stated that she had a stable and loving home prior to the unprecedented events regarding her marriage. She added that polygamy is a life choice and that no one should be compelled to accept it.
She stressed that some religions and traditions allow polygamy and that she has nothing against it but that as a person, she will not be numbered or cajoled to accept a practice that does not align with her faith and family values.While praying for the couple’s home to be settled, Rita Edochie took to her Instagram account to share a lovely family video snippet of the household. In the caption section with the words, “They were six in this peaceful home, father, mother and four lovely children enjoying their lives peacefully. Today, they are now four in the same home.
God, please surround and protect the home both their going out and coming back. God almighty you know the best and your best is always the best. @mayyuledochie.”
