Lagos govt set to arraign doctor Olaleye for allegedly defiling his wife’s teenage niece
The Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution will, on Monday, arraign a medical director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Dr Femi Olaleye, for the alleged defilement of his wife’s 15-year-old niece for one year and 6 months
This was contained in a letter of notification titled, ‘State of Lagos vs Dr Olufemi Olaleye,’ signed by the Principal State Counsel for the DPP, Mr Oluwagbenga Alagbe, and made available to journalists on Sunday in Lagos.
It should be recalled that the 57-year-old Doctor was alleged by his wife of molesting her niece and a video which has been going viral for some weeks also showed Dr Olaleye having se*ual intercourse with patients and also set camera that was recording them during the act.
Alagbe said that the arraignment would be before Justice Ramon Oshodi of the Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Ikeja.
“Olaleye will be facing a two-count of defilement and sexual assault by penetration.
“He must appear before the Honourable Court and also make provision for a legal practitioner of his choice,” Alagbe said.
The counsel also said a copy of the information papers and proof of evidence were attached to the notification of arraignment already sent to the accused.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Agency had taken over the case for further investigation and after the investigation, the DSVRA recommended the doctor for trial and forwarded the case file to the DPP.
