By Adeniyi Onaara
The Lagos Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has announced that it will arraign Dr Femi Olaleye, Medical Director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, for alleged defilement of a 16-year-old girl (name withheld).
This is contained in a notification letter titled “State of Lagos vs Dr Olufemi Olaleye,” which was signed by the Principal State Council of DPP, Mr Oluwagbenga Alagbe, and made available to newsmen on Sunday in Lagos.
Alagbe stated that the arraignment would take place on Monday, Nov. 21 before Justice Ramon Oshodi of the Sexual Offenses and Domestic Violence Court in Ikeja.
“Olaleye will be charged with two counts of defilement and sexual assault by penetration.”
“He must appear before the Honourable Court and make provision for his own legal practitioner,” Alagbe said.
The DPP’s Principal State Council also stated that a copy of the Information Papers and proof of Evidence had been attached to the arraignment notification that had already been sent to the accused.
