A Nigerian court has sentenced doctor Olufemi Olaleye to life in prison for raping his wife’s teenage niece, the BBC reported.
The prosecutor said Dr Olufemi Olaleye sexually assaulted the girl for more than a year until his wife found out and informed the police.
The doctor had pleaded not guilty during the trial.
But a judge in a Lagos court said he found the evidence against the doctor compelling and rejected his plea for leniency.
During the trial, the doctor’s wife said she discovered the abuse after the girl told her aunt and the family’s driver. The girl, now aged 18, said the doctor had been sleeping with her and had threatened to kill her if she told anyone, the doctor’s wife said.
The doctor was also accused of forcing her to watch pornography.
