Nollywood actor Yul Edochie’s estranged marriage with his first wife, May Edochie, is back in the news over a case of bigamy.

According to a report from Due Process Advocates (DPA), a case of bigamy was going to be filed against Yul Edochie but May was not in support of it.
It was gathered that bigamy, a criminal offence, can be tried in a court of law, and the offender can be sent to prison. DPA noted that May Edochie was concerned about whether it would make Yul Edochie go to jail, and she refused to proceed with the matter because she didn’t want the father of her children arrested.

DPA’s post reads in part:
“When the case of Yul Edochie came to DPA, we considered filing a complaint with the police and getting the allegation investigated. But when May realised that such a move might result in Yul being arrested and prosecuted and possibly sent to jail, she refused to allow us to proceed. She didn't want her husband and father of her children arrested. Each time bigamy was mentioned, she would ask: "Will they arrest him?" And we would say: "Most likely yes." She would refuse to approve it. You can understand that. Despite what Yul did to her, she didn't want him arrested.
"The only option left was for May to file for divorce and to sue Judy for damages for adultery. Even at that, she didn't want to rush it. It took until after the death of her child and Yul's subsequent behaviours for her to file for divorce.”
