Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has dragged her colleague, Judy Austin, over her lawsuit.
It is no longer news that Judy filed a writ of summons against Rita, demanding a billion in damages, a retraction and apology, an order to pay N50 million, and a 10% post-judgment interest, and more.
The two appeared at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja today, September 29th, 2026, where they faced off.

In photos circulating online, Judy was seen arriving and leaving the court after the hearing.
Unlike Judy, who appeared in court without Yul or anyone supporting her, Rita Edochie attended the hearing with fans who flew in from abroad to show solidarity.
The case has been adjourned to November 24th.

In a video making rounds online, Rita threw shots at Judy, noting how the actress wants her to stop talking against husband snatchers. Rita said Judy will cry blood, pointing out the irony that the actress sued her for money she has never seen before.
“Judy Austin wants me to stop talking against husband snatchers. She will cry blood. She sued me for N1bn that she has never seen before”.
