Mayowa Lambe, has issued a cease-and-desist notice to her ex-husband and popular media personality, Roby Ekpo, over comments about their marriage.
This came a few days after Roby Ekpo publicly cried during an interview with the Honest Bunch podcast after Mayowa got married to another man abroad without an official divorce with him.
Narrating how he supported Mayowa to travel abroad, Ekpo accused her of secretly using contraceptives throughout their 11 years of marriage, while he kept visiting hospital over fertility concerns.
He further shared evidence of how he had been sending money to her without knowing she was living with a man.
While describing the experience as painful, the media personality said “I woke up to videos and pictures of my wife on Instagram getting married to another man.”
His emotional breakdown heightened public interest, with many users criticising Mayowa for using Ekpo while some demand her own side of the story.
Reacting to the controversy, Mayowa, in a legal document signed by Chinedu Nwaneli Esq, issued a cease-and-desist notice to Ekpo and gave him 48 hours ultimatum to pull down the post online, retract and apologize, and pay N100 million in damages for defamation or face legal action.
“A Cease & Desist has been formally issued on behalf of Ms. Mayowa Lambe over false and defamatory statements being circulated publicly.
Let this be clear, there is no existing marital relationship. There is verifiable evidence contradicting these claims”, he said.
Newsunplug reports that the couple met on Instagram in 2015 after Mayowa Lambe slide into Ekpo’s DM, and got married a few months after a brief courtship.
