Dr Olaleye Sentence To Double Life Imprisonment For Defilement
The embattled medical doctor of Optical Cancer Care Foundation, Femi Olaleye, has been sentenced to double life imprisonment for defiling her wife’s niece by Justice Rahmon Oshodi of Lagos Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, Ikeja
Justice Oshodi had earlier
dismissed his “no case submission application” for lack of merit and asked him
to enter his defence. After the prosecutor proved the allegations, found him
guilty as a charge
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.
In convicting the doctor, Justice
Oshodi held that the prosecution proved the two counts of defilement and sexual
assault by penetration against Olaleye.
The judge said the evidence adduced
before the court, against the defendant was compelling and proven beyond
reasonable doubt.
According to him, the confessional
statement the defendant 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.
