Mayowa's husband responds to marital controversy, demands N100m damages
Mayowa Lambe's new husband David Abraham has publicly responded to the marital controversy between his wife and her ex Roby Ekpo, supporting her legal action demanding ₦100 million in damages. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Abraham stated his wife owed no explanations to anyone, writing 'Falsehood may travel fast, but truth arrives with consequences.' He reposted the cease-and-desist notice Ekpo received from Mayowa's legal team.
The controversy began when Ekpo appeared on 'The Honest Bunch' podcast, alleging he financially supported Mayowa while abroad for over six years. He also claimed disagreements over intimacy, fertility challenges, and accused her of secret contraceptive use.
Mayowa, who married Abraham after separating from Ekpo, filed the legal notice through Aunt Landa's Bethel Foundation, accusing him of defamatory claims and false narratives that caused 'reputational damage, online harassment and public ridicule.' She presented evidence including financial contributions, relocation funding attempts, and medical records of fertility efforts.
The demand requires Ekpo to comply within 48 hours or face immediate legal action. This high-profile case highlights how marital disputes involving public figures can escalate into costly legal battles with significant reputational consequences.
