Rita Edochie Clashes With Judy Austin Again Over Fresh “Witch Attack” Claims
Rita Edochie has launched a fresh attack on Judy Austin after Judy shared a cryptic post suggesting that a “witch and her coven” were going after her family. Judy didn’t mention names, but the tone and direction of her message made it clear to many who she was referring to — and Rita responded immediately with a fiery, spiritually charged statement. The clash reignited after Judy claimed she was under spiritual assault, warning that anyone targeting her home would face consequences. Her message stirred reactions because she has made similar claims in the past, usually followed by major tension within the Edochie family. Rita, who has consistently defended May Yul Edochie and openly opposed Judy, countered with a lengthy message that left no doubt about who she was addressing. She began by praising May’s rise, saying: “NWAM, YOUR BEAUTY, BRILLIANCE, AND SUCCESS IS PUTTING SLEEP OFF THEIR EYES IF NOT WHY THIS SO MUCH H@TE? NA WAOO0.” She then described Judy’s recent outburst as another attempt to create confusion, writing: “NOW, LET IT BE KNOWN TODAY AND FOREVER THAT WHENEVER THE DEVIL BEGINS TO BARK CONFUSION RISES AND THINGS TEND TO SHIFT UNLESS DEALT WITH THROUGH FIRM SPIRITUAL VIGILANCE.” Rita revisited an earlier incident where Judy claimed enemies were attacking her and her children, saying the drama eventually dragged May into the mess. She also referenced the death of a young actress, noting that someone had celebrated online afterwards and declared that their enemies were falling “one by one.” She warned that this new round of accusations would not stand, declaring: “THE DEVIL IS PLOTTING OOOO BUT THIS TIME HER PLOTS WILL MELT SCATTER AND BE WASHED AWAY BY A DIVINE EROSION A HEAVENLY FLOOD FILLED WITH FIERCE SPIRITUAL POWER.” Rita stressed that God cannot be manipulated, adding: “HE CANNOT BE REMOTE CONTROLLED. AND WHATEVER THE DEVIL IS PLANNING THIS TIME SHE WILL GO DOWN WITH HER HEAD INCLUDED IJMN.” She went on to celebrate May’s continued progress, saying her success is what has disturbed those watching her rise: “NWAM MY DARLING QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE YOUR BEAUTY BRILLIANCE AND SUCCESS HAVE REMOVED SLEEP FROM THEIR EYES. CHA THEY NEVER EXPECTED YOUR GLORIOUS RISING.” Rita assured her followers that May’s elevation has only just begun, urging them to keep praying for her and her family as she concluded: “JESUS IS COMFORTABLY SEATED ON YOUR MATTER… PLEASE LET’S KEEP PRAYING FOR MY DARLING DAUGHTER QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE AND HER ENTIRE FAMILY.” The latest exchange adds even more fuel to the long-running conflict that has played out publicly between Rita and Judy, keeping tensions around the Edochie family firmly in the spotlight.

Fusengbuwa Ruling House Rejects KWAM 1’s Lineage Claim, Declares Form Null And Void
The Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Ijebu-Ode has officially rejected Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly known as KWAM 1, declaring his submitted lineage form for the Awujale selection process “null, void, and of no consequence.” In a letter dated December 11, 2025, addressed to the musician, the ruling house stated that its investigation found no evidence linking Ayinde to the Jadiara Royal House or the wider Fusengbuwa lineage, which is currently entitled to produce the next Awujale of Ijebuland. The statement, signed by Fusengbuwa Ruling House Chairman Otunba Lateef Owoyemi, criticized the form’s certification, noting it was endorsed by Adetayo Abayomi Oduneye, described as “a purported family unit head” who is not recognized as a member of the Jadiara Royal House. The ruling house also flagged the timing of the endorsement, pointing out that the form was certified on December 8—two days before Ayinde signed it on December 10—calling it “presigned.” “Our extensive investigation has not revealed any proof of your membership of the Jadiara Royal House or indeed that of Fusengbuwa Ruling House,” the letter read, adding that Oduneye had no authority to certify lineage documents. “Consequently, the completed linkage lineage form is hereby declared null, void, and of no consequence. For the avoidance of doubt, your claim to the membership of Fusengbuwa Ruling House is rejected,” the statement added. The declaration comes amid heightened attention surrounding the selection of a new Awujale following the July death of Oba Sikiru Adetona, who reigned for 65 years. Earlier on Thursday, the ruling house publicly disowned KWAM 1, insisting he is neither known to the family nor entitled to participate in the selection. The musician had submitted his form after being granted a five-day extension beyond the official December 5 deadline. His submission claimed descent from the Setejoye family unit of the Jadiara Royal House through his father, Adisa Adesanya Anifowoshe, with Oduneye as a countersigner. However, multiple family heads, including leaders of the Jadiara and Bubiade units, had already denied any genealogical link to the musician, maintaining that neither he nor his father belongs to their lineage. The Fusengbuwa Ruling House convened an emergency meeting on Thursday to review Ayinde’s submission and address the surrounding controversies.
