May Edochie’s legal counsel, Emeka Ugwuonye, made this revelation in a recent statement he shared about the ongoing divorce case between his client and Yul at the FCT High Court in Abuja.

He said the court hearing slated for March 5 didn’t hold because of an unexpected setback caused by Yul and Judy.

He also mentioned that Yul and Judy’s defense strategy is to deny being married and insist that their ‘marriage’ lacks legal recognition.

Recall that May’s initial petition mentioned that Yul and Judy had their traditional wedding in Anambra state on April 24, 2022. However, they both denied the wedding, alleging that it is a lie.

According to May’s lawyer, Yul and Judy plan to argue that their social media content, including videos and posts, are part of their skit-making activities.

If you want to know how Yul Edochie and Judy Austin plan to defend themselves in court, you have to look closely at the response they filed in court. Their strategy is clear and straightforward. They plan to tell the court that everything they do on social media, all those videos, and all those posts are just SKITS. They want to compare themselves with Oga Sabinus and call everything skits.

Now, look at the exact words of Yul:

“That since the news of the birth of Star in June 2021, Gistlover as anegative blog that thrive in fake and manipulated information for financial gains has been negatively exploiting every movie or skit featuring the (me and Judy) and generating social media traffic for financial benefits therefrom.”

Did you see where he called it skits between him and Judy? But they are forgetting that their skits have produced two children and are about to get the third one. Their skits produced Star and his sister. Real skitmakers like Oga Sabinus don’t produce babies from their skits. But if it was all skits, why hire Sarah Martins to falsely accuse May? Is that part of the skits, too? Sarah doesn’t think so. She already told the world it was a cold-blooded and vicious attack against an innocent woman in order to steal her husband.

Now, carefully read the main allegation and how Yul and Judy responded to the allegation. They denied themselves as husband and wife. They called it all skits. And they blamed it on Gistlover, the evil genius. OK, read:
