Managing Director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Dr Femi Olaleye has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raping his wife’s niece.
Rahman Oshodi, the judge at the special offences and domestic violence court in Lagos, on Tuesday, convicted Olaleye on a two-count charge of defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration.
The judge determined that the victim’s evidence and that of the doctor who examined her were consistent.
He also indicated that Olaleye’s confessing admission, as well as his wife’s exchange of WhatsApp and email communications, were sufficient evidence against him.
Justice Oshodi further ruled that the confession and undertaking he drafted and signed at Anthony Police Station with his NBA seal with his lawyer, Olalekan Buruji, revealed he raped the girl and forced her to suck his manhood.
Oshodi found him guilty of the offence of defilement and sexual penetration of a 15-year-old minor.
The judge held that the prosecution was able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and that all the evidence before the court corroborated that of the victim.
The judge ruled that the defendant should serve life imprisonment for count one and the same for count two.
The judge said the sentencing should run concurrently.
