The trouble rocking the marriage of famous actor, Yul Edochie, has taken a new twist as his first wife, May, has filed suit for divorce.

She is also suing him and his second wife, Judy Austin, for ₦100 million as damages.

She is represented by the renowned Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr Femi Falana, and the Eculaw group.

In her lawsuit, she is seeking divorce on the grounds of adultery, noting that she and Yul got married under the 1970 Marriage Act, which states that neither man nor woman can have more than one wife/husband at a time.

According to information obtained by Per Second News on Wednesday, Judy and Yul are aware of the lawsuit, having received copies of the notices by email.

It was also reported that they have been avoiding the bailiff and due court process, despite being aware of the suit.

Per Second News also gathered that May reportedly filed for a court order restraining Yul from gaining access to their former matrimonial home.

The restraining order was filed on grounds of security and safety concerns bearing in mind how Yul’s behavior has been ‘erratic, irrational, aggressive and increasingly threatening’.

She claimed that she did this to feel safe and protected for both herself and her children.

Despite the current set of circumstances, Yul allegedly attempted to enter the house last weekend against all advice, where May and her kids were living alone.

However, security operatives had intervened and stopped him.

He was cautioned that going forward, any matter on his marriage to May and his dealings are now subject to litigation.
