Court Sentences Medical Doctor to Double Life Imprisonment for Defiling his Wife’s Niece
A Lagos Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, Ikeja has convicted an embattled medical doctor of Optical Cancer Care Foundation, Femi Olaleye, for defiling her wife’s niece and sentenced him to double life imprisonment.
Justice Rahmon Oshodi who had dismissed his “no case application” after the prosecutor proved the allegations, found him guilty as a charge
The judge dismissed his application for lack of merit and asked him to enter his defence.
The State government had filed two counts of charges against Olaleye, alleged him of having unlawful sexual intercourse and did sexually assaulted by penetrating her mouth with his penis.
His offences contravened Sections 137 and 261 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
Convicting the doctor, Justice Rahman Oshodi held that the prosecution proved the two counts of defilement and sexual assault by penetration against Olaleye.
The judge said that the evidence adduced before the court, against the defendant was compelling and proven beyond reasonable doubt.
According to him, the confessional statement of the defendant which he made before his lawyer, Mr Olalekan Buruji and the DPO of Anthony Police Station that he regretted his act proved that he committed the offences.
The judge said that the oral statement which the defendant denied, had the NBA seal of Buruji on it and his denial did not hold water.
“You are a dangerous offender and you must be ashamed,” he said.
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.
