UK Court To Arraign Nigerian Doctor Femi Olaleye Over Alleged Sexual Offences After Previous Lagos Conviction
Dr. Femi Olaleye, a Lagos-based medical doctor previously convicted and later acquitted of sexual offences in Nigeria, is set to be arraigned on Friday, December 5, at Maidstone Crown Court in Kent, United Kingdom. UK authorities arrested him at Heathrow Airport over allegations linked to offences said to have occurred before he relocated to Nigeria. Olaleye, who once faced life imprisonment in Lagos before the Court of Appeal overturned the verdict, is currently detained in North Kent Police Station. Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government has approached the Supreme Court seeking to reinstate his earlier conviction, arguing that the appellate court erred in its judgment. The case is expected to shape future handling of sexual offence appeals in Nigeria.
