May Yul-Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has threatened to sue an upcoming actress, Sarah Chukwukere Martins, for 500 million Naira as damages over the alleged sharing of a doctored picture of her family.
The lawsuit demanded a public apology from the upcoming actress to May, as well as, a retraction of a defamatory publication.
In a Friday Instagram post, May revealed that she had directed her lawyers to file a suit against Sarah, with the username @officialsarahmartins, for sharing an edited image of the entrepreneur and her children.
Her post reads: “It is very inconsiderate and demeaning to SMEAR anyone, especially someone you barely knew. I’ve always had a PEACEFUL, JOYFUL, and LOVING family. I worked tirelessly for several years building a beautiful home while managing several businesses successfully.
“It is very evident that some persons have been deliberately and desperately trying to TAINT my reputation and “change the narrative” in order to suit their agenda. This is unacceptable to me. My passionate legal team will be extremely cheerful to dine with anyone who does not cease and desist from character assassination or defamatory publications in a court of law.”
Sarah is being accused of posting a doctored version of the picture which included Yul Edochie, his second wife, Judy Austin, and their first son together.
May is also threatening to sue Sarah for “false and injurious” statement made against her during an Instagram live session with popular media personality, Daddy Freeze.
In the letter dated February 1, 2023, it was stated that Sarah implied during the live chat that May, “failed in her duties as a wife to Mr. Yul Edochie and that such failures led Mr. Yul Edochie to leave our Client (May) and get married to Ms. Judy Austin.”
Contained in the list of demands are a public apology, full retraction of the statement and an assurance that such false utterances will not be made in the future.
May also further threatened to sue for 500 million naira in damages, should Sarah refuse to accede to the stated demands.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) recalls that Sarah, during the Christmas period, got social media abuzz as she shared a photoshopped photo of Yul Edochie and his entire family.
