Comedian AY petitions police to arrest content creator over alleged affair with May Edochie
Comedian Ayo Makun, also known as AY, has petitioned the Nigerian Police to arrest a content creator named Agozi Samuel for alleging that he is having an affair with actor Yul Edochie’s estranged wife May.
Agozi who goes by the name Agozi Commedy on Facebook claimed the comedian is the reason Yul and his May are having marriage crisis.
In the petition dated January 24, AY, through his lawyers, accused Agozi of criminal defamation, and cyberstalking and requested for his arrest and prosecution.
The stand-up comedian and actor denied the content creator’s allegations describing it as baseless and untrue.
The petition read in parts: “The said publication alleges that our client is involved in an extramarital affair with one May Eodchie, the wife of Yul Eodchie and that our client was responsible for the marital crisis between May and her husband.
“For the purpose of clarity, the exact false baseless and untrue statement knowingly and intentionally made at several intervals by Agozi Samuel in the said video is reproduced as follows; ‘You slept with May. Because of you, Yul Eodchie and his wife separated because you’re having an affair with Yul Edochie’s wife which is May.
“‘The general public did not know what is happening even the court case that is going on, the general public did not know. I told you on the 31st night that 2024, I will bring you down in 2024. I will be the one to bring you down. For you to bring down a home that lasted for many years, you made them separated, you made the wife live differently and the husband. What are you looking for in somebody’s wife that your wife does not have?” Your plan now is to go and marry May. I know all the plans you want to go and marry May. You think I don’t know.’”
The 52-year-old comedian added that the allegation has affected his brand and caused a great blow to his personal life, career, integrity and reputation among friends, business associates and the general public.
AY urged the Delta State police to take immediate action in investigating and apprehending Mr Agozi Samuel as evidence of defamation and cyberbullying has been provided.

It has come to the point where People should start taking responsibility for their actions on social media.They are a lot of things that I have been letting go from colleagues, bloggers and clout chasers concerning my person. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Social media is now the new king Kong where claims to feelings are now more important than objective facts. If a foolish person comes out and says something that unlocks the feeling of a audience, people start commenting negatively without getting to the nitty-gritty of the matter.
There are a lot of things that i have promised myself not to let go this year. Especially when it has a lot to do with imagery, false accusations, malicious behaviors etc.
The fact that the Internet has become a prevalent part of people’s daily lives globally, and how connected everyone is, proves that our vulnerability has increased. So it is very easy for your online reputation to be connected to your real-life reputation; and therein lies the power ascribed to the Internet.
The more i continue to disregard or accept all these fake apologies flying online, the more all these acts of wickedness are designed to hurt me, my career, ambitions, and even relationships.
It is easy to always ask someone to ignore and watch the whole situation die a natural death. The internet never forgets and taking actions would help counter those accusations because in the future when your name gets googled, all of these nonsense will appear, and if there are no counters like police petitions and court cases validating ones innocence, the internet will paint it as though these idiots were right and that stigma will just remain on the internet, so ACTIONS MUST BE TAKING AGAINST THESE LUNATICS
