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.
