The judge at the special offences and domestic violence court in Lagos, Rahman Oshodi, has sentenced the managing director of the Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Femi Olaleye to life imprisonment on Tuesday, October 24, for raping his wife’s 15 year old niece.
Olaleye was convicted on a two-count charge of defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration.
The judge ruled that Olaleye should serve life imprisonment for the two-count charges, and also stated that the sentencing should run concurrently.
Olaleye was arraigned on November 20, 2022, by the Lagos State government on a two-count charge of defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration. However, he pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was accused of sexually violating the victim for over 20 months.
During the trial, his wife, Aderemi, told the court that her husband introduced the underage victim to pornography and oral sex.
The judge added that the name of the defendant should be added to the Lagos State sex offenders register.
“Femi Olaleye, I have convicted you of defilement and sexual assault by penetration. This charge has a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. Accordingly, I sentenced you to life imprisonment on count one and two. On each count, the sentencing will run concurrently,” he ruled.
