A Lagos Court has sentenced a medical doctor, Femi Olaleye, managing director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, to life imprisonment for raping his wife’s niece.
The presiding judge, Rahman Oshodi J., convicted Olaleye on a two-count charge of defilement of a 16-year minor and sexual assault by penetration.
According to the judge, evidence showed he raped the victim and forced her to suck his manhood.
Justice Oshodi also held that the evidence of the victim and the doctor who examined her were 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.
