The legal team backing May Edochie in her continuing divorce dispute with Yul Edochie, DPA Family Clinic, has declared its intention to step aside from the case.
In 2023, May filed for a divorce from Yul Edochie and sought damages of N100 million.
Following the actor’s April 2022 announcement of Judy Austin as his second wife, this occurred.
The law company recently said on Facebook that its services to May have “come to an end” because of the “hostility” of certain members of the “May Nation” group.
DPA emphasized that its employees’ safety and wellbeing had grown to be a top priority.
The letter said that DPA employees had experienced “persistent bullying and trolling” from May’s fans as well as from Yul and Judy’s supporters.
“We can no longer continue to have effective representation because of the hostile environment created by some members of the “May Nation” group,” the statement said.
It becomes extremely difficult to take ethical action against the bullies of Queen May when her own fans show just as much, if not more, animosity. As so, we were forced to pull out.
“DPA and our employees face a significant operational and moral dilemma as a result of the ongoing abuse and trolling coming from Queen May’s alleged followers.
Consequently, I am unable to continue sending our committed employees—young men and women—into these cases with integrity. Having already been subjected to similar attacks by Yul’s fans, they are now subjected to regular harassment by May’s supporters.
The amount of money needed for our representation is irreconcilable with Queen May’s incapacity to significantly impact this increasingly divisive segment of her fans. Since our employees are people, it is my top priority to ensure their welfare.
DPA insisted that May was a “victim of marital abuse and betrayal” and pledged to work with her new lawyers, even as it denounced Yul’s behavior in the marriage.

Additionally, the law company announced that it would file a lawsuit against “Judy Obasiyul Autism,” the claimed mastermind behind the attacks on its employees.
Please note that Yul, with Judy’s help, is solely responsible for the series of events that culminate in the confrontation between Queen May and Yul. Justice and social protection are due to Queen May,” DPA stated.
DPA denounces the conduct of Yul and Judy that resulted in the altercation. Because DPA believes that men and women should have equal rights, we oppose forced polygamy.
In order to transfer our work to any successor representatives that Queen May appoints, DPA will collaborate with her staff. Crucially, both during and after withdrawal, we are still obligated to safeguard our client’s best interests.
We hope Queen May wins. She is a unique person. If she has any queries about our previous work, we are still available to her and are prepared to engage with her new representatives.
Going forward, DPA will take legal action against the purported leader of “May Nation,” who is going by the alias “Judy Obasiyul Autism,” whoever they may be.
