Lawyers representing Queen May, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, have withdrawn their services.
The legal group known as Due Process Advocates (DPA) cited the hostility and harassment from individuals believed to be her own fans.
In a public statement seen by Naijaonpoint, DPA explained that the toxic behavior displayed by members of the “May Nation” group has made continued legal representation impossible, both ethically and operationally.
According to DPA, the hostile environment allegedly created by Queen May’s supporters has damaged their ability to focus strategically on fighting her known opponents.
Also, the constant abuse directed at DPA staff has taken a toll on morale, especially as they had to endure similar attacks from Yul Edochie’s supporters in the past.
“It becomes profoundly difficult to pursue action against those who bullied Queen May when her own supporters show equal, if not greater, hostility.
“Queen May’s inability to meaningfully influence this increasingly toxic faction among her supporters is incompatible with the level of investment required for our representation. Our staff are human beings, and I have a paramount duty to protect their well-being.
“Queen May was a victim of marital abuse and betrayal. She deserves justice and societal protection. DPA unequivocally condemns the actions of Yul and Judy that led to the conflict. DPA opposes forced polygamy, grounded in our belief in equal rights for men and women”, the statement read in part.
