Judge throws out Ubi Franklin and Lillian Esoro’s divorce suit

The divorce suit involving estranged lovers, Ubi Franklin and Lillian Esoro has been thrown out by an Ikeja High court which ruled that the reasons tabled by the pair to part ways does not hold water.

The presiding judge on Monday July 8, 2019, according to a popular blog, ruled that the divorce proceedings have been cancelled stating further that the reason for both parties wanting a divorce is not valid.

The court also noted both parties should settle their differences and that since Lilian confirmed that Ubi provides for their child and both of them are very good friends, then there is no reason for a divorce.

Last year, Lilian Esoro failed to appear at the Ikeja High court for a formal divorce hearing for the dissolution of her marriage to Ubi Franklin who was seen at the court premises in company of his lawyers.

Other reports claimed infidelity and physical abuse as the reason their wedding packed up immediately their son Jayden was born.
