The Managing Director of the Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Femi Olaleye, was sentenced to life imprisonment on Tuesday for raping his wife’s niece.
Olaleye was convicted on a two-count charge of defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration.
Rahman Oshodi, the judge at the special offences and domestic violence court in Lagos, ruled that Olaleye should serve life imprisonment for count one and the same for count two.
Also, Justice Oshodi said 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 the two-count charge.
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.
