A fresh wave of controversy has erupted between media personality Mayowa Lambe and her estranged husband, Roby Ekpo, following a legal threat that could escalate into a full-blown court battle.
Lambe, through her legal representatives, has issued a strong cease-and-desist notice to Ekpo, giving him just 48 hours to retract statements he allegedly made about her, or face serious legal consequences, including a ₦100 million damages claim.

The legal action comes after Ekpo appeared on a podcast where he publicly shared details about the breakdown of their marriage. During the emotional session, he made several allegations, including claims of infidelity, deception, and long-standing marital issues.
Among the most controversial claims were accusations that Lambe secretly used contraceptives throughout their marriage while he believed fertility issues were his fault. He also alleged financial strain and emotional distress during their relationship.
The revelations quickly gained attention online, sparking heated reactions across social media.
Lambe’s Legal Response
In response, Lambe’s legal team described the statements as defamatory and damaging to her reputation. The notice demands that Ekpo:
- Immediately stop making or repeating the allegations
- Delete all related content across platforms
- Issue a public apology and retraction
- Pay ₦100 million in damages
The lawyers warned that failure to comply within the given timeframe would lead to legal action, including claims for aggravated damages and possible criminal complaints.
Marriage Timeline and Growing Tension
The couple reportedly got married in 2015 after meeting online and kept much of their relationship private over the years.
However, the situation recently spiraled into public view after reports surfaced suggesting Lambe had remarried abroad, a development that allegedly shocked Ekpo and triggered his public outburst.
What Happens Next?
With a strict deadline now in place, all eyes are on Ekpo to see whether he will retract his statements or challenge the claims in court.
