Veteran actor, Pete Edochie has given his son, Yul Edochie an ultimatum to disown his new wife and colleague, Judy Austin.
According to the veteran actor, the practice of polygamy is not common with modern Igbo, adding that it is only his first wife, May that is recognized by the family.
He said: “I want the whole world and Nigerians to understand that as an Igbo man, I never support my son’s actions and as a statesman, I only recognized his first wife, May as the only authentic wife of my son; the rest is banished from entering my household.”
He added that marrying two wives does not confer a manly status on anyone. He stated that Yul had outside his knowledge after having four children from his first wife, took the second wife.
The veteran actor was reported to have said: “Right from when Yul was still a child, he never listened to him. “I’m not shocked that he has a son without my knowledge.
“A child that doesn’t listen to his father ends up cutting his or her life span short.”
A source said Judy Austin had been married with two lovely children before becoming a second wife to Yul.
