Mayowa Lambe, the former wife of Nigerian media personality and OAP Roby Ekpo, has taken legal action by issuing a cease and desist notice to her ex-husband. This move comes in response to public statements made by Roby regarding the dissolution of their marriage.
Background of the Marriage Dissolution
In the legal notice sent through her representatives, Mayowa Lambe clarified that their traditional marriage had been mutually dissolved before May 2025. She emphasized that both families were aware of and consented to the separation. According to her, the marriage was annulled prior to any subsequent remarriage by Roby, countering any claims that she was unfaithful or financially dependent.
Allegations of False Narratives
Mayowa accused Roby of spreading false information about her, including allegations of infidelity, financial reliance, and misrepresenting the true status of their relationship. These statements, she claims, have led to significant online trolling and damage to her reputation. The legal notice highlights the emotional and professional harm caused by these public declarations.
Legal Demands and Consequences
Through her legal team, Mayowa has demanded that Roby immediately cease making any further defamatory statements. She also requires him to delete all previous content related to these false claims and issue a public apology. Additionally, the notice demands ₦100 million in damages for the reputational harm suffered.
The cease and desist letter warns that if Roby fails to comply within three days, Mayowa will pursue legal action in court. This development underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the determination of Mayowa to protect her name and integrity.
