Emmanuel Obasi, the ex-husband of Nollywood actress and wife of Yul Edochie, Judy Austin, has cried out to Nigerians for help.
In a video making rounds online, the actress’ first husband claimed that he hadn’t seen his kids in over ten years and that the actress was frustrating his life with them because she knew he loved them.
He further claimed that Judy had abandoned the kids to focus on her children with her now husband, Yul Edochie and this has left him worried about their well-being and upbringing. Narrating his plight, he called on Nigerians to help me get custody of his kids as they mean the world to him.
“Judy is frustrating me with these children because she knows I love them. A father like me, how will I be looking at myself? I have children of, 16 years old and 14 years old, and I don’t have access to them.
This year will make it ten years since I last sighted my children. How will I cope? Anytime I wake up with that mindset, I lose concentration. It’s becoming unbearable now. She is not with them; I am not with them. The upbringing of these children matters to me”.
This isn’t the first time he has cried out over custody of his kids. In 2022, Mr Obasi disclosed how he spent heavily on Judy so she could have a degree, but she started dating Yul in 2012 while still married and later packed out of their house with the kids after he refused to buy her a house in Enugu.
It is no longer news that Judy Austin was thrown into the spotlight after her affair and marriage to Yul Edochie, who was at the time married to May Edochie, the mother of his four kids.
Their affair led to Yul’s crashed marriage as his estranged wife filed for divorce from him, demanding N100 million from Judy, and had also filed a restraining order denying him access to their former matrimonial home and had gotten full custody of the kids.
Last year, Judy Austin shed light on how she met her Yul Edochie, claiming she met Yul years after her first marriage was dissolved in 2013. She also shut down the reports that circulated about her cheating on her former husband.
Yul and Judy have since started their own family and are blessed with two sons, Star Dikeh and Pete Ndubuisi Yul Edochie.
