Popular media personality, Roby Ekpo, has revealed his intention to petition the United States government against his ex-wife, Mayowa Lambe over alleged marriage fraud.

 

 

This is coming a few days after Mayowa got married to another man in the US without an official divorce from Ekpo.

 

Reacting to the development in a viral interview, Ekpo expressed shock about the news of Mayowa’s marriage to another man, and explained how he supported her to travel.

 

While insisting that Mayowa is still married to him, Ekpo claimed to have bought a flight ticket for Mayowa during her recent visit to Nigeria.

 

In response, Mayowa through her legal representative issued a cease-and-desist notice to Ekpo, and gave him 48 hours ultimatum to comply with her demands or face legal action.

 

Mayowa demands include retraction and apology, and payment of N100 million in damages, explaining that marital relationship between them “mutually terminated” in May 2025.

 

Challenging Mayowa’s defamation notice, Ekpo in via his legal representatives, Tap Legal Services, tagged her N100 million demand as “excessive, unfounded, and premature”.

 

While stating that everything he said was based on his personal experiences with her and not made with malicious intent as she claimed, he threatened to defend himself in court with all the evidences.

 

Ekpo through his legal representative, further threatened to submit all his evidence along with his petition to the US authorities against her.

 

“Your letter contains an admission of some of Our Client’s claims, and he reserves the right to admit it in evidence in his petition to the appropriate US government authorities, including the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Our client also reserves the right to seek declaratory and injunctive relief as may be necessary to protect his rights and interests”, he said.
