The Medical Director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Dr. Olufemi Olaleye, who is charged with d£filing his wife’s 16-year-old niece, has denied the allegation and also accused his wife of framing him up to take over his house.
Dr Olaleye, who is facing a two-count charge of defilement and s£x¥al p£n£tration against a minor, denied the allegations while testifying in his own defence before the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Offence, Court in Ikeja.
The prosecution claimed that the offences which occurred between February 2020 and November 2021 in his Maryland, Lagos home violated sections 137 and 261 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015. The defendant, had, however, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. While being led in evidence by his lawyer, Babatunde Ogala (SAN), Olaleye told the trial judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi, that the testimonies of the survivor and that of his wife were incorrect.
The defendant’s wife, Aderemi Olaleye, in her testimony before the court had stated, “My lord, on 27th November 2021, my niece told my aunty that since March 2020, Femi has been s£x¥ally ab¥sing her and even introduced her to p#rnogr@phy. From there, he graduated to or@l s+x with her and he does this in different places in the home where there are no cameras”.
But Dr. Olaleye countered this evidence, stating that the allegation surfaced after the couple had a serious misunderstanding. The defence witness told the judge that the marriage between the couple was a rocky relationship because of his wife’s deceptions and an extra-marital affair.
The defendant, who referred to his wife, as Mrs. Anthonia Ijeoma Yetunde Fagbemi, further said, “During the course of the marriage, Anthonia, I mean (Remi) continued to have extra-marital affairs, she also took a loan to buy a car”. (Cont’d on next slides)
