Court dismisses Facebook lover accused of attempted rape
The suspect, 26 year-old Arthur Obiora, faced a three-count charge of threat to life, attempted rape and causing bodily harm to the 21-year-old student.
He however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Following a reshuffle in the Lagos State Judiciary, a new magistrate, Awogboro, took over the case from Martins Owunmi on Wednesday and granted a prayer of the defence to strike out the case.
He told the court that the two families had “entered into discussions on how to resolve the case amicably’’.

The journalist is Biodun Kupoluyi, the publisher of E24/7 Magazine- Chris Okotie ban journalist from attending his church over story
Biodun Kupoluyi, the publisher reveals it all,according to
him
After he wrote a story alleging that Rev Okotie is dating an
undergraduate named Miss Naomi Hoffman.
I
received the news from a man claiming he's representing the church that he has
been directed by the pastor of the church and members of Household of God
church that I should not come and worship with them. His reason, he said, was
premised on E24-7 magazine's expose - pastor Chris finds new love, says I
will not get married again, but may opt for surrogacy soon. I found
and
it confirmed our story. He actually made those statements and we reported it. I
think he did not think anybody could have known about his romance with the
girl, Naomi. He was caught off guard..but as a journalist, I owe our teeming
readers that responsibility. I feel fulfilled, though I will miss his
theatrics, his stage performances and verbosity.
My perception of the church and my respect for the man has changed. He is not a serious preacher of the gospel. The job of a good shepherd is to seek a lost sheep, not to ban a sheep or send away a sheep from the fold. It is only in our environment that these kind of things happen. Because I worship in a church, I can't write the story of the pastor even if the pastor is doing what is wrong? But the pastor and the church will hail me if I praise him or do a PR story for them.
Despite the ban, if journalistic duties calls I will go there. In fact we were there the following week after I was barred. It was the week he claimed Christians can do tattoos and plastic surgery. We went with a whole crew, looking forward to a show down. I'm a free citizen. I cannot be cowed. And I stand by my story on Naomi. That is not disputable!
