  Nollywood actor, Linc Edochie and Yinka Theisen have called it quits less than one month after their wedding was announced.  Yinka took to her official Instagram account to make the announcement, writing: “In all things we say thank you Lord!! My relationship with Linc is over. No hard feelings at all. I am very sad but in all things we thank God.”   Earlier, Linc announced that he is choosing peace over a "landmine" union after Yinka released May Edochie's phone number, which sparked retaliatory actions from May's supporters.   Linc and Yinka have unfollowed each other on Instagram.   The union between Linc, one of the sons of legendary actor Peter Edochie, and Yinka was announced earlier this month by Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation magazine.   However, shortly after the announcement, Yinka began publicly criticising May Edochie, the estranged wife of her new brother-in-law, Yul Edochie. This prompted backlash and threats from May's fans.
