A United States-based woman has publicly accused Nigerian On-Air Personality (OAP) Mayowa Lambe of allegedly causing turmoil in her marriage, while Lambe herself was married in Nigeria back in 2021. The fresh allegation comes amid Lambe's ongoing legal battle with her ex-husband, Roby Ekpo.
Accusations Against Mayowa Lambe
In a series of social media posts, the woman claimed that Mayowa, who was once romantically involved with her ex-husband, Yusuf Fatai, played a role in the breakdown of her household. She suspects that Fatai may have facilitated Mayowa's move to the United States after securing his own citizenship through marriage to her.
According to the accuser, Fatai had a history of applying for visas for others and was allegedly involved in falsified documents and passports. She further alleged that before meeting her, Fatai had proposed to Mayowa and maintained a relationship with her while still married to a Slovenian woman.
The woman wrote: "This Mayowa girl caused serious issues in my household. Mayowa is also an ex-girlfriend to my now ex-husband, Yusuf Fatai. Maybe homeland security and investigations can let us know if it was my ex-husband who invited Mayowa to America after he had secured his citizenship through marriage to me."
She added that her ex-husband admitted to opening a credit card for Mayowa, and claimed he was helping the OAP despite being married to her at the time.
Lawyer Offers Pro Bono Representation
Legit.ng earlier reported that a new twist has emerged in the ongoing dispute between media personality Roby Ekpo and his estranged wife, Mayowa Lambe, as a US-based lawyer has offered to represent Ekpo in the legal battle. The lawyer, Bolanle Cole, announced the decision in a post shared on X on Thursday, April 23, stating that he would take up the matter on a pro bono basis.
According to Cole, his intervention would include contacting the US Embassy regarding allegations surrounding Mayowa's new marriage. The lawyer referenced the N100 million demand filed against Ekpo and indicated readiness to challenge the claims.
"Dear Roby Ekpo, I write in response to the recent suit instituted against you in the sum of N100,000,000.00, arising from circumstances surrounding a marriage that, by law, still subsists," the post read. He further stated that the matter may extend beyond Nigeria: "We will also be writing to the U.S. Embassy regarding allegations of a fraudulent marriage entered into for the purpose of securing immigration benefits."
Cole also confirmed that he would represent Ekpo without charging legal fees: "I have taken a keen interest in this matter and will be representing you on a pro bono basis. This matter will be approached with professionalism, diligence, and a firm commitment to justice."
