Court sentences Lagos doctor to life imprisonment for rape

The managing director of the Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Femi Olaleye, was found guilty of raping his wife's niece and received a life sentence.

The doctor was found guilty on Tuesday by Judge Rahman Oshodi of the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence court in Lagos.

With two counts each of defiling and sexually assaulting his wife's niece by penetration, Mr. Olaleye was accused of committing the crimes between March 2020 and November 2021.

On November 30, 2022, the defendant was charged with a crime and entered a not-guilty plea.

At least seven witnesses were introduced by the prosecution. One, though, was "withdrawn."
