Legal Action and Financial Demands

A legal confrontation has emerged between media personalities Mayowa Lambe and Robert Ekpo following a high-profile podcast appearance. Lambe, through the legal department of Aunt Landa’s Bethel Foundation, issued a formal notice on April 22, 2026, demanding that Ekpo immediately cease the publication of defamatory statements. The notice requires Ekpo to pull down existing content, issue an unqualified public retraction, and pay ₦100 million in damages. The legal team warned that failure to comply within three days would result in further litigation, including claims for aggravated damages and criminal complaints.

Allegations of Deception and Infidelity

The dispute reached the public eye after Ekpo’s emotional interview on The Honest Bunch podcast. During the episode, the comedian and radio presenter alleged that Lambe had secretly used contraceptives for a decade while he underwent fertility tests under the impression he was the cause of the couple's inability to conceive. He further claimed that Lambe had deceived him about the nature of a surgery in Miami and recently remarried another man in the United States without a formal separation. Ekpo asserted that he had been financially supporting Lambe for years, only to be met with coldness and betrayal.

Lambe’s Legal Rebuttal and Marital Status

The cease-and-desist notice provides a sharp contradiction to Ekpo’s narrative. According to the document signed by K. Umoh Esq., the traditional marriage between the two parties was "mutually terminated" with the consent of both families before May 11, 2025. Lambe’s legal team claims she possesses verifiable evidence, including medical records and financial documents, that disprove Ekpo’s allegations of financial dependency and deceptive medical procedures. The notice further alleges that Ekpo’s public statements were a "sustained campaign of falsehood" designed to generate public sympathy at the expense of Lambe’s reputation.
