The Medical Director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Dr Olufemi Olaleye, will now have to spend the rest of his life in prison custody for defiling his wife’s 15-year old niece in Lagos State. 
 
P.M.EXPRESS reports that it was the judgment of the Lagos State Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence sitting in Ikeja on Tuesday.
The Court found the 57-year old Olaleye guilty as charged and sentenced him to life imprisonment for defilement.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi, held that the evidence of the victim and that of the doctor, who examined her, were credible and enough to prove the alleged crime against Olaleye beyond reasonable doubt.
In December 2022, Dr. Femi Olaleye, was remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre pending the fulfillment of his bail conditions having been arraigned before the Court on a two-count charge of defilement and sexual assault by penetration of the teenage girl.
The Court claimed that Olaleye’s confessional testimony and his wife’s exchange of emails and WhatsApp chats constituted sufficient evidence against him.
The confession and undertaking he drafted and signed at the Anthony Police Station with his lawyer, Olalekan Buruji, and his NBA seal, according to the judge further proved he had sexually assaulted the victim and made her suck his manhood.
He was found guilty of defiling and sexually penetrating a 15-year-old minor.
Justice Oshodi ruled that all of the evidence presented to the Court supported the victim’s testimony and that the prosecution had established its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
He was found guilty and sentenced accordingly and will be spending his prison term at the Correctional Centre in Lagos State.
