She said, “My lord, Femi, most nights, gives me a small tablet. When I looked at this incident, I wept. How was this incident going on in my home and I did not know?” she said.
“Femi gives me medication every night and he claims that it is junior aspirin that will avert blood clots because I’m turning 50 years old soon. My lord, maybe a medical examination should be conducted on me.
“I want to believe that I slept my way through all his atrocities. Sometimes, he also gives me Phenergan, he will say I work so hard that Phenergan will help me relax my nerves.”
The niece, came to live with the family in December 2019, when she was 15 years old after her guardian, who was also Mrs Olaleye’s mother, died.
According to the witness, her husband raped her niece from March 2020 to November 2021 at their Maryland residence in Lagos.
“Femi has been sexually abusing her. He introduced her to pornography and graduated to oral sex,” she said.
She also explained how during oral sex, he “released in her mouth.”
