Roby Ekpo, a well-known figure in the media, has stated that he plans to file a lawsuit with the US government against Mayowa Lambe, his ex-wife, for suspected marital fraud.
This occurred just days after Mayowa wed a different man in the US without formally divorcing Ekpo.
In a widely shared interview, Ekpo responded to the news of Mayowa’s marriage to another man by expressing amazement and outlining how he helped her travel.
Ekpo claimed to have purchased a plane ticket for Mayowa on her latest trip to Nigeria, although maintaining that Mayowa is still his wife.
In response, Mayowa, through her legal representative, issued a cease-and-desist notice to Ekpo and gave him a 48-hour 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.
