The divorce lawsuit between actor Yul Edochie and his estranged wife, May, has been put off due to the absence of Yul and Judy’s lawyer.
May’s legal counsel, Emeka Ugwuonye, provided an update on social media.
He wrote; “Trial could not go ahead today as scheduled because two days ago, Yul Edochie’s and Judy Austin’s lawyer wrote a letter to the court stating that he was unwell and stating that he would not be present in court today as a result thereof.
“He proposed a number of dates in the future as an alternative and requested the court to indulge him. Usually, the court would give a lawyer the benefit of doubts in such a situation. May’s lawyers would not like to question the integrity of the opponent directly, even though the excuse was a tendentious occurrence.
“Today in court, Mr. Yul Edochie was present, but without his counsel, the court could nor hear any substantive matter. A new date has been set in June. We are all concerned about delays and protraction of this case. But we remain confident that justice will be done in due course by this court. As you know, several issues are involved: from the activities of the parties in the social media, to the welfare of the children, to the issues of marital properties, safety of May, and the final status of the marriage itself.
“As we have done in the past, we urge all well-wishers and supporters to be patient. The legal process is very intricate and the best approach has to be meticulous and painstaking. Despite our concerns about delays, we are confident that May is fine and will remain so.
“There should be no cause for worries at this point. We also urge you to resist the temptation to believe things you read in the blogs. Most of the blogs have no idea what is going on, but will go to every extent to suggest otherwise. Thank you.”
Veteran Nollywood actor, dramatist, filmmaker, and scholar, Dr Kola Oyewo, has died at the age of 80.
Announcing his passing on Instagram on Friday, actor Kunle Afod wrote: “Kola Oyewo has taken his final bow.
“His remarkable talent, timeless performances, and immense contributions to the Nigerian theatre and film industry will never be forgotten.
His legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. “Rest well, sir. Your work lives on. “🕊️ It’s a wrap.”
The veteran actor, born on March 27, 1946, in Oba-Ile, Osun State, Oyewo began his acting career in 1964 with the Oyin Adejobi Theatre Group.
He later became one of the most recognised figures in Yoruba theatre and Nigerian film.
He was widely known for his portrayal of Odewale in Ola Rotimi’s play, “The Gods Are Not to Blame,” a role that earned him recognition across the African theatre scene.
During a career that spanned more than six decades, Oyewo featured in several productions, including “Saworoide,” “Sango,” “Koseegbe,” “Super Story” and many Yoruba-language films that contributed to the growth of Nigeria’s movie industry.
Beyond acting, Oyewo was also an academic.
He earned a doctorate in Drama from the University of Ibadan and taught at Obafemi Awolowo University, Redeemer’s University and Elizade University.
Through his teaching and mentorship, he helped train and guide generations of actors, playwrights and scholars, leaving a lasting impact on Nigeria’s theatre, film and academic communities.
Ariana Grande has put the White House on blast for using her song “Bye” in a social media post promoting US immigration arrests, describing the video as “barbaric”.
The White House released the TikTok video on Tuesday, featuring US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting and handcuffing people.
The video used Grande’s song “Bye” as background audio and was captioned: “Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”
On Thursday, Grande responded in the post’s comment section. “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. F*** ICE,” she wrote, according to Variety.
As of Friday morning, her comment was no longer visible on the post.
A source close to Grande confirmed to Reuters that her team was exploring how to remove the song from the video.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement: “We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.”

Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has drawn attention to the abduction of school children and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State during his performance at the FIFA World Cup Countdown Concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
The ‘OBO’ crooner donned a custom-made jacket with the names of the 39 abducted children and their seven teachers pinned on it. On the back of the jacket, Davido also boldly wrote; “Bring Them Home.”
Davido performed his hit song ‘Fall’ and kept flaunting his jacket throughout the performance to draw attention to the abducted school children and teachers in captivity.
This is not the first time the singer has called for the release of the abductees. He has previously called on the relevant authorities to ensure the victims are rescued without further delays in a social media post.
He stated that the current insecurity must not be allowed to continue.
