LAGOS, Nigeria – The pretty 16 year old girl (names withheld) sexually abused by Medical Director of Optimal Care Clinic, Dr. Olufemi Olaleye has provided sordid details on her several encounter with the randy medical doctor.
The beautifully endowed lady testified in video played in court. In the video admitted in evidence by Justice Ramon Oshodi along other exhibits, the teenager described her assailant as a sex maniac who visited her every night even when he has a well built beautiful wife in the video.
Led in evidence by the Director, Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) Dr Jide Martins, the child forensic interview expert , Mrs. Olabisi Ajayi -Kayode told the court how Dr Olaleye groomed the survivor by inflaming her with sexual passion before he deflowered her.
Mrs Ajayi-Kayode who is a Chief Forensic officer with Cece Yara Foundation, told the court that the survivor informed her that Dr Olaleye asked her, “are you still a virgin? Why are you still keeping your virginity. Virginity is no longer in vogue. Girls of 12, 13, 14 are no longer virgin.”
In previous testimonies by others, Olaleye was also said to have introduced the teenager into voyeurism and pornography to condition her mind in readiness for unbridled sexual encounters.
The child forensic expert further told the court that the survivor told her that the first time the defendant had sex with her, she experienced “sharp pain and there was blood and that he (Dr Olaleye) took tissue paper and wiped the blood.”
She said when asked if anybody has ever done anything to her that she doesn’t like, that the survivor said no. According to her, the survivor said she sleeps on the floor in the children’s room and the defendant would normally come there in the night, pretend as if making sure the windows were okay.
She said he would tap her and asked her to go and prepare coffee for him.
She said it was in the course of preparing the coffee that the defendant would invade her body, caressing and touching her inappropriately and fingering her private part and ordered her to perform oral sex on him.
She said whenever she attempted to resist him, the defendant would threaten her life and that of her auntie. My lord, the survivor informed me that the defendant normally defiled her in part of the house not covered by the Close Circuit Television (CCTV).
“On one particular day, the survivor was waiting by the security house based on the instructions of her auntie that she should not be staying alone inside the house, when the defendant arrived and ordered her inside the house.
“When they got inside, he asked her to prepare ‘amala’ for him. In the process of doing this, he came into the kitchen and took her to his study and had sex with her and warned her not to tell anyone. After that, the abuses became more regular, having sex with her and sometimes, oral sex.”
Mrs Ajayi-Kayode said the survivor informed her that one day, she was washing clothes outside their house and was soliloquizing on her experience, that she was tired of the constant abuse by the doctor.
She said this was when the driver, Waheed, heard her and convinced her to narrate her experience to him and she did and pleaded with him not tell anyone.
The child forensic interview specialist concluded: “he (Dr Olaleye) gained access to the child and use his position as husband of her auntie to gain position of sexual abuse, using coercion to maintain control and to suppress the abuse.”
Under cross examination by defence counsel, Babatunde Ogala (SAN), the child forensic expert insisted that she drew her conclusion based on her interview with the survivor. She denied interacting with the police since they were part of the investigation. She insisted that the defendant serially abuse the survivor.
