Emeka Ugwonye, the legal counsel to May, the estranged wife of actor, Yul Edochie, has condemned 2Face Idibia over his public proposal to his new woman, Natasha Igbinedion.
In a post shared on his Facebook page, Ugwuonye described 2Face’s action as insensitive. He argued that publicly advertising his new lover to the point of proposing to her during his divorce is a mark of insensitivity and that Annie will be justified in making Natasha a party to the divorce proceedings and forcing her, Natasha, to come to court and explain her relationship with TuFace.
His post reads
‘’TUFACE IS WRONG TO PUBLICLY PROPOSE TO MARRY ANOTHER WOMAN WITHOUT DIVORCING HIS CURRENT WIFE
A video of Mr. Idibia (Tuface) proposing to Natasha Osawaru raises serious concerns. While TuFace is trying to avoid bigamy by commencing divorce proceedings with his current wife, Annie, a divorce decree has not been granted to him yet. So, he is still married to Annie. He cannot commit adultery. Proposing to Natasha in the manner he did clearly leads to the conclusion that he is in an adulterous relationship with the lawmaker and that the lawmaker may have a hand in the break-up of the marriage to Annie, after all.
Further, divorces are supposed to be conducted with some level of dignity and sensitivity for the feelings of the parties involved. It is traumatizing to go through divorce, especially for the party that did not initiate the divorce. To publicly advertise your new lover to the point of publicly proposing to her during the divorce is a mark of insensitivity. Indeed, it will justify Annie making Natasha a party to the divorce proceedings and forcing her to come to court and explain her relationship with TuFace.
Indeed, Annie’s lawyers can cross-petition for divorce and make Natasha a party to the divorce proceedings. That will open some scrutiny into Natasha’s involvement with TuFace, raising questions such as: (1) When and how did the two meet? (2) What have they been doing together in relation to their planned marriage? (3) How did that contribute to the break-up of the marriage of TuFace and Annie? Depending on the mindset of Annie’s lawyers, TuFace has managed to throw Natasha into the legal battlefield and she could be badly bruised in the fight.
I think it was a terrible mistake for TuFace and Natasha to throw away caution in the manner they seem to have done.”
