Dr Femi Olaleye was arraigned in an Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court on Wednesday for alleged defilement of his wife’s 16-year-old niece (name withheld).
Olaleye, the medical director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, was granted bail of N50 million with two sureties in the same amount by Justice Ramon Oshodi.
The doctor was remanded in Ikoyi Correctional Centre by the court pending the completion of his bail.
Olaleye was charged with two counts of defilement and sexual assault by penetration.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Olaleye was supposed to be arraigned on November 21 but the arraignment was stalled.
The defence counsel Babatunde Ogala (SAN) apologised for his client’s absence, noting that he was out of town as of the time the prosecution wrote to him.
