The ongoing saga of Nollywood star Yul Edochie's divorce from his wife May has gripped the public's attention, with recent developments causing a delay in legal proceedings.

Due Process Advocates (DPA) Organization, headed by Emeka Ugwuonye, revealed that Yul's legal representative was notably absent during the divorce hearing on May 7, 2024.

The attorney, Judy Austin, had cited illness, prompting the court to reschedule the trial.

While Yul was present in court, the absence of his lawyer prevented substantial matters from progressing.

The DPA Organization expressed concern over the repeated delays, emphasizing the case's complexity involving social media behavior, child welfare, marital assets, May's safety, and the marriage's status.

"Nevertheless, we maintain our trust in the court's ability to administer justice in due time. The case encompasses multiple facets, including the parties' social media conduct, the children's welfare, marital assets, May's safety, and the ultimate determination of the marriage's status."Despite frustrations over the delays, the DPA Organization urged trust in the court's ability to deliver justice.

They reassured the public of May's well-being and cautioned against unreliable online rumors.

The divorce proceedings stem from Yul Edochie's announcement in April 2022 of Judy Austin as his second wife, which sparked controversy.

May Edochie responded by initiating legal action in August 2023, leading to the ongoing courtroom drama.

In a previous court session, Yul clarified that he and Judy Austin were not married but collaborated professionally on skits, adding layers to the intricate legal battle.
