Olaleye Sentenced To Life Imprisonment For defiling wife’s niece

Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Tuesday sentenced the embattled Medical Director of Optical Cancer Care Foundation, Dr Olufemi Olaleye, to double life imprisonment for defiling a 16-year-old wife’s niece.

Justice Rahman Oshodi held that the prosecution proved the two counts of defilement and sexual assault by penetration against Olaleye.

Oshodi said that the evidence adduced before the court against the defendant was compelling and proved beyond reasonable doubt.

According to him, the defendant’s confessional statement, 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 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.

“You acknowledged that you are a sex addict in your confession but came to this court and told lies.

“You showed no remorse, and it shows that you are a dangerous man.“The survivor, to your knowledge, is a child, but you forced her to watch pornography, rub her breasts and put your penis in her mouth.

“You penetrated her repeatedly,’’ Oshodi said.

“By the laws of Lagos State, I am compelled to hand you a sentence of life imprisonment on each count of your offence, but your counsel has said that you are a first-time offender and a doctor of cancer patients.
