Emeka Ugwuonye, the lawyer representing May Edochie in her marital dispute with Yul Edochie, has discontinued his service.
In a statement released by the law firm Due Process Advocate DPA on Facebook, Ugwuonye cited relentless harassment from Mays fanbase, known as May Nation, as the reason for his decision.
He stated that the initial legal partnership, formed to seek justice for May in the aftermath of her marriage breakdown, ended due to tension and cyberbullying from her supporters.
According to Ugwuonye, the toxic atmosphere fostered by some of her fans made it impossible to continue his representation.
He mentioned that his staff faced abuse from Mays supporters, more severe than what they experienced from Yul Edochies supporters.
