A video has surfaced on social media capturing the moment convicted doctor, Femi Olaleye was led out of the courtroom after a life imprisonment sentence was passed on him for raping his wife’s niece.

Naija News recalls that the presiding judge, Rahman Oshodi, in a ruling on Tuesday, convicted the Managing Director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation on a two-count charge of defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration.

The judge ruled that the defendant should serve life imprisonment for count one and the same for count two.

However, the judge said the sentencing should run concurrently.

A video showing the moment Olaleye who donned a white native attire, was led out by a prison official has emerged.

Naija News recalls that the doctor was accused of sexually violating a minor, who was said to be a niece of his wife, for over 20 months.

The presiding judge, Rahman Oshodi, in a ruling on Tuesday, convicted Olaleye on a two-count charge of defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration.

Olaleye was then arraigned by the Lagos state government, in November 2022, on a two-count charge of defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration.

The medical doctor, however, pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge.

During the trial, Aderemi, the estranged wife of Olaleye, had told the court that his husband introduced the underage victim to pornography and oral sex.

Aderemi said she and her husband have been married for 11 years and have two children.

She expressed regret at how her husband was sexually abusing her niece and was unaware of the incident.
