actor and pastor, Yul Edochie |
Nollywood actor and pastor, Yul Edochie, has revealed an alleged plot by individuals to kill his second wife, Judy Austin, and harm their two children. The actor took to social media to share this alarming news, stating that the threats have escalated to dangerous levels.
Background on Yul Edochie's Family
In
November 2021, Judy Austin welcomed a son named Star Munachimso with Yul
Edochie. On April 21, 2022, Yul publicly introduced Judy as his second wife, a
move that sparked significant controversy. Prior to this, Yul had been married
to May for over 17 years, with whom he shares four children.
May
Edochie, who was displeased with her husband's new union, revealed that Yul
paid Judy’s bride price on April 24, 2022, without her knowledge. This led May
to file for divorce in August 2023, with the court proceedings kept largely
private.
Public Reaction and Social Media Fallout
Yul's
announcement of his second marriage caused a major backlash on social media,
leading to a mix of criticism and support from fans. Both Yul and Judy have
since been the subjects of numerous internet jokes, particularly on Facebook
where they share live videos and a mini-reality show.
However,
these activities have also attracted serious threats. In a recent social media
post, Yul claimed that a group of individuals created platforms to bully his
fans, friends, and business associates, and to issue threats against his
family.
Threats to Life and Police Involvement
Yul
stated that the group, operating primarily on WhatsApp, has been harassing
people and even posted his home address online, threatening to harm his
children and kill Judy. Yul has reported these threats to the police and is
offering a one million naira reward for information leading to the arrest of
those responsible.
On
Instagram, Yul wrote: “A group of jobless and foolish people formed a WhatsApp
group and social media pages to threaten my fans, friends, and business
associates. Bullying is unacceptable. I have reported the matter to the police.
If anyone threatens you, record the call, copy the number, and text, and send
it to me so I can forward it to the police for tracking.”
He
added, “They went as far as posting my house address and threatening to hurt my
children and kill Judy. They have crossed the line. You cannot dictate how
another person lives their life. God punish all of you. I will get you all. I’m
offering N1 million and more to anyone who can provide helpful information
leading to their arrest.”
Call to Action Against Cyber-bullying
Yul
urged anyone receiving threatening calls or texts to record and forward the
communication to him for police tracking. He called on his fans and friends
worldwide to assist in apprehending those responsible, emphasizing that
cyber-bullying is unacceptable.
“Please
assist me in apprehending these psychos. I thank you all for your love and
support. God bless you. Cyber-bullying is unacceptable,” he stated.
Yul's plea highlights the serious nature of the threats and his commitment to ensuring the safety of his family. He is determined to fight against such behaviors and ensure that the perpetrators face legal consequences.
