May Yul-Edochie sues Instagram user for ‘manipulated photo’

May Yul-Edochie, Nigerian businesswoman and estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, has taken legal action against an Instagram user who allegedly shared an edited photo of her family.

In an Instagram post on Friday, May revealed she had directed her lawyers to file a lawsuit against one Sarah Chukwukere, who goes by the username @officialsarahmartins, for sharing an edited image of the entrepreneur and her children.

The image mentioned was a Christmas photo that originally showed May and her four children. However, Chukwukere posted an edited version of the photo that showed Yul Edochie, his second wife, Judy Austin, and their first son together.

May is also threatening to sue Sarah for “false and harmful” statement made against her during a live Instagram session with popular media personality Daddy Freeze.

The February 1, 2023 letter stated that Sarah suggested during the live chat that May had “failed her duties as the wife of Mr. Yul Edochie and such failures resulted in Mr. Yul Edochie becoming our client (May) and marrying Mrs. Judy Austin.”

The list of demands includes a public apology, full retraction of the statement and an assurance that such false statements will not be made in the future.

May also further threatened to sue for 500 million naira in damages should Chukwukere refuse to comply with the demands made.
