According to reports, Olaleye committed the crime for about 19 months before his wife learned of his illicit interactions with her niece and reported him to the Lagos State Police Command for investigation.

Olaleye was reportedly apprehended by police officers assigned to investigate the case, and the case was then transferred to the police command’s Gender Unit, where an investigative police officer named Bimbo Williams was assigned to handle the case beginning in March 2022.

It was discovered that a petition was sent to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Agency asking them to get involved because the suspect was not receiving the proper punishment.

Adesina Ogunlana, the chairman of the Radical Agenda Movement in the NBA, called on the state police command and DSVRT officials to bring charges against Olaleye for allegedly abusing the minor on Monday during a joint press conference with journalists in an effort to bring justice for the victim.

Olaleye’s confessional statement was among the evidence the police and government agency had, according to Ogunlana, but the doctor had not been charged with a crime since March 19, 2022.

He said, “We are wondering why a case that was investigated since March didn’t go to court immediately. An aide to the governor of Lagos State has also allegedly been fingered as the brain behind the non-prosecution of Dr. Olaleye.

“This same person called to intimidate the Rapid Response team of Lagos State when they were called to provide security for the survivor and her guardian because the intimidation and threats to their lives became unbearable.

“We, therefore, demand the immediate arrest and prosecution of Dr. Olaleye who has misused his position as a trusted medical practitioner. We also demand an immediate investigation by the Lagos State government into unveiling the political character behind the curtain that has prevented them from prosecuting the offender since March, 2022.

“Thirdly, we call on the Nigeria Medical Association to investigate these alleged offences by a respected member of their association and if allegations are found to be true to immediately withdraw his licence as such people should not be found in a noble and respected profession like medicine.”JAMB Result
