Popular media personality, Roby Ekpo, has revealed his intention to petition the United States government against his ex-wife, Mayowa Lambe over alleged marriage fraud.

This is coming a few days after Mayowa got married to another man in the US without an official divorce from Ekpo.

Reacting to the development in a viral interview, Ekpo expressed shock about the news of Mayowa’s marriage to another man, and explained how he supported her to travel.

While insisting that Mayowa is still married to him, Ekpo claimed to have bought a flight ticket for Mayowa during her recent visit to Nigeria.

In response, Mayowa through her legal representative issued a cease-and-desist notice to Ekpo, and gave him 48 hours ultimatum to comply with her demands or face legal action.

Mayowa demands include retraction and apology, and payment of N100 million in damages, explaining that marital relationship between them “mutually terminated” in May 2025.

Challenging Mayowa’s defamation notice, Ekpo in via his legal representatives, Tap Legal Services, tagged her N100 million demand as “excessive, unfounded, and premature”.

While stating that everything he said was based on his personal experiences with her and not made with malicious intent as she claimed, prepared to defend himself in court,

Ekpo through his legal representative, further threatened to submit all his evidence along with his petition to the US authorities against her.

“Your letter contains an admission of some of Our Client’s claims, and he reserves the right to admit it in evidence in his petition to the appropriate US government authorities, including the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Our client also reserves the right to seek declaratory and injunctive relief as may be necessary to protect his rights and interests”, he said.

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
