Nollywood actress Judy Austin files lawsuits in Abuja, seeking damages in connection with a widely publicized dispute. According to reports, she sues her ex-husband, Emmanuel Obasi, for N1 billion. She also targets veteran actress Rita Edochie, alleging defamation and asking the court for financial damages, with figures reported around N1 billion.
Outlets describe the cases as part of the same ongoing public feud that follows allegations about Austin’s relationship with Yul Edochie. Daily Post Nigeria reports Austin files a writ of summons at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and posts details on Instagram after filing. Another report references additional claims involving Rita Edochie and also notes that Austin’s legal action is publicly visible, including a video showing her ex “receiving” the lawsuit.
Across the coverage, the consistent point is that Austin pursues court action for alleged defamatory statements and for damages connected to her ex-husband, while the specific damage amounts attributed to Rita Edochie and the way the filings are referenced vary between outlets.
