“These posts are a calculated assault on our client’s reputation and have further imperilled her safety through malicious threats and false allegations,” the letter read in part.

As part of her demands, May Edochie requested that Ugwuonye: Immediately stop all defamatory publications, retract existing damaging posts and issue a public apology across all his social media platforms.
She is also seeking ₦1 billion in damages as compensation for the harm caused by the publications.
The notice warned that failure to comply with these demands could lead to further legal action.
This latest development adds another layer of drama to the ongoing controversies surrounding the Edochie family, as May continues to fight to protect her image and personal safety.
