Mrs Aderemi Olaleye, the wife of Dr Olufemi Olaleye, who is standing trial for allegedly defiling a 15-year-old minor, has told the court how her husband allegedly sexually abused her niece during her stay with them.
She claimed that between March 2020 and July 2021, the defendant introduced the victim to oral sex and pornography.
The mother of two, who was led in evidence by the state Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr Babajide Martins, said, “On November 27, 2021, my second cousin told my aunt, who is my mother’s sister, that since March 2020, Femi (Olufemi) has been sexually abusing her and introduced her to pornography, from there he graduated to having oral sex with her; that he does this in different places in the house where there are no cameras.”
It was gathered that the doctor allegedly confessed to fingering and having oral sex with the victim before he was transferred to the Gender Section of the Lagos State Police Command.
In the presence of his lawyer, the doctor reportedly agreed to sign an agreement promising not to approach the victim or his children after confessing to having sex with the niece.
According to reports, Dr Olufemi Olaleye was admitted to Grace Cottage Clinics, Ilupeju, for treatment of sex addiction.
“There was no time since November 2021 that Femi had denied the allegations. He has spoken to me about apologising to the whole family and the victim, stating it was the work of the devil.
“The psychologist at the rehab reached out to me that he had a diagnosis of sex addiction and that I should go back to the history that if not, my own daughter can be a victim,” she added.
Mrs Aderemi further stated that the therapist told her that if her husband did not complete his treatment for sex addiction, he would relapse.
She said her husband usually gave her some medications, adding that the court should order a medical examination of her as she believed she was always sleeping whenever her husband was committing the acts.
While responding to questions from the prosecutor, she said the matter came to the fore when the family’s nanny reported to her that her niece had been rude.
She was said to have been disciplined, which the doctor was not comfortable with when he arrived.
She told the court that Olufemi took the victim to her aunt’s house.
“After he left the victim in my aunt’s house, my aunt, who is a retired school principal and psychologist, asked the victim what happened and she confessed to her. My aunt called and told me what happened and she said I should not tell Femi about it so that he won’t hurt me,” she added.
Olufemi is facing two counts of defilement and sexual assault by penetration of his wife’s niece, who started living with his family in December 2019, after her guardian died.
Aderemi, who had been married to the doctor for 11 years, said the victim confessed to a relative and their driver that her husband threatened to kill her if she revealed her ordeal to anyone.
