May Yul-Edochie, the estranged wife of actor, Yul Edochie, has dragged the ex-girlfriend of Linc Edochie, Yinka Omolola Theisen, her former lawyer Emeka Ugwuonye, and other unidentified social media users before the Lagos State High Court over alleged cyberbullying, defamation, and online harassment.
According to the court filing, May has asked the court to order the removal of the social media accounts and posts she claims were used to target her person and malign her character. She prayed the court to grant an order compelling social media platforms to release user information to assist with investigations.
In a 126-paragraph affidavit filed in support of the suit, May alleged that she had been subjected to sustained online attacks over several years by the defendants and operators of multiple blogs and Facebook pages.
She alleged that the publications contained false accusations, manipulated photographs, insulting caricatures, Al-generated images, de@th wishes and other materials intended to ridicule her and damage her reputation.
She further alleged that despite serving legal notices on some of the defendants in 2025 demanding the removal of the publications, the alleged attacks against her person have continued, and new social media pages have been created to continue the attacks on her.
The claimant also accused one of the defendants, whom she identified as her former lawyer, of disclosing confidential information she had released to him during the course of legal representation and publishing materials she described as defamatory and misleading.
May is seeking N1 billion in damages from Ugwuonye, #500 million from Theisen, and court orders directing social media platforms to identify and disclose information about anonymous account operators behind the alleged campaign.
Justice Abdul-Raheem Tejumade Muyideen has directed that court processes be served across all known contact channels for the defendants. The matter has been adjourned for a service report.
