RAPE: Court Sentences Popular Lagos Doctor To Life Imprisonment
A court in Lagos has sentenced Femi Olaleye, managing director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, to life imprisonment for raping his wife’s niece.
The judgement was delivered on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, by Rahman Oshodi, the judge at the special offences and domestic violence court in Lagos.
The judge convicted Olaleye on a two-count charge of defilement of a 16-year minor and sexual assault by penetration.
According to Justice Oshodi, evidences showed he raped the victim and forced her to suck his manhood.
He held that the evidence of the victim and the doctor who examined her was consistent. The judge added that Olaleye’s confessional statement and exchange of WhatsApp and email messages with his wife were enough evidence against him.
Justice Oshodi also held that the statement and undertaking he wrote and signed alongside his lawyer, Olalekan Buruji, with his NBA seal at Anthony Police Station, showed he raped the victim and forced her to suck his manhood.
