Some Groups of human rights activist in Lagos are celebrating the sentencing to life imprisonment of Dr Femi Frank Olaleye, the founder of the Optimal Cancer Foundation for the defilement of his wife’s niece.
Olaleye was sentenced in a judgment that was delivered by Justice Rahman Oshodi of the Lagos Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Ikeja.
Addressing pressmen, Barrister Adesina Ogunlana ,at his office Winners Don’t Quit Chambers, Lagos said ” we are celebrating our collective victory with the win of the sentencing of life imprisonment of Olaleye, a notorious unrepentant pedophile and a liar in the words of the court.
“This verdict is a significant win for justice, we are advocating for the need to bring such cases to limelight and ensure that perpetrators face the consequences of their actions.
“We all started this journey together with our relentless calls and subsequent protests asking the Lagos State government to arrest and prosecute Dr. Femi Olaleye for the defilement of his wife’s niece after one year that a complaint was filed against him.
“Our joy knew no bounds when he was subsequently arrested and arraigned on two counts of sexual assault and defilement of his wife’s niece.
“Exactly a year after arraignment, Justice Rahmon Oshodi of the Lagos High Court gave an erudite judgement that left no one in doubt that there is a difference between judgement and Justice because this poor indigent survivor who is the daughter of nobody without paying a penny to anyone and without having connections got JUSTICE!!!!
“This is not Uhuru yet because the war against sexual and gender based violence is still raging”.
He revealed the troubling trend that in some cases like that, some legal practitioners may attempt to persuade victims, families to accept financial settlements and let the case be swept itself under the carpet.
He also added that another issue that delays justice is the issue of the absence of witnesses which leads to abandonment of the pursuit of justice.
“Such leaves victims and their families torn between seeking justice and financial relief, despite the irreversible psychological trauma inflicted to the victim.
Barr.Taiwo-Ndidi Ojo, expressed her concerns about the rules and regulations that backed up some professional bodies who carry out operations without being duly registered, that’s why Olaleye, who was not a member of the medical association was allowed to practice.
She acknowledged that the victory is not just for the survivor but for all those who have fallen victim to Olaleye’s abuses.
“This landmark conviction sends a powerful message that justice can prevail, even against influential individuals.
“We are committed to supporting victims and their families, encouraging them to stand up for justice and not be silenced by societal stigmatization.
Anthonia Ojenegbon of Tonia Bruised But Not Broken’ commended the family of the victim for rejecting 2.5million naira to change their statement which his agent had deposited four hundred thousand naira as part payment.
“What everyone is celebrating today could not have been possible after many attempt to destroy all the evidence against the perpetrator but we appreciate God almighty that saw us through.
In resounding notes, the activists declare, “Your Day of Reckoning is Coming for the evil ones.”
This verdict underscores the importance of addressing the root causes of such issues and ensuring that no one, regardless of their status or connections, can evade justice for their crimes

Gov. Peter Mbah @54: From Campaign Vision to Transformational Leadership in Enugu State
By George Omagbemi Sylvester
“From Campaign Promises to Measurable Impact: How Gov. Peter Mbah is Transforming Enugu State Ahead of His 54th Birthday”
Governor Peter Mbah is being celebrated on March 16, 2026, ahead of his 54th birthday tomorrow, March 17, 2026, for his visionary leadership, developmental initiatives, and enduring impact on Enugu State.
Mbah began his journey to the governorship under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2022 primaries, running on a platform of economic revitalisation, security enhancement, education reform, healthcare expansion, and youth empowerment. His campaign emphasized making Enugu State a business-friendly, investment-ready, and socially inclusive environment, promising policies to raise the state’s economy significantly while improving living standards for citizens.
Elected governor on March 18, 2023, and sworn in on May 29, 2023, Mbah immediately began translating campaign promises into action. Within months, his administration launched strategic initiatives across multiple sectors, reflecting a commitment to governance that is both pragmatic and people-focused.
Security and Public Safety
One of Mbah’s first priorities was enhancing security. He established AI-powered command centers, modern surveillance systems, and rapid response squads, reducing crime rates and making Enugu a model for safety in the region. Citizens and investors alike have praised these measures for creating a secure environment that encourages commerce and tourism.
Education and Healthcare
Mbah has made education and healthcare cornerstones of his administration. The state now boasts 260 Smart Green Schools equipped with ICT labs and digital learning tools. In healthcare, he constructed 260 Primary Healthcare Centres, ensuring that communities across the state have access to essential medical services. His policies reflect a vision of equitable development and human capital empowerment.
Infrastructure and Urban Renewal
Under his leadership, nearly 1,000 km of roads have been completed or rehabilitated, while urban centers have undergone significant renewal. Water schemes long neglected were revitalized to provide reliable supply, and waste management initiatives have improved public sanitation across the state. Mbah’s administration also prioritizes long-term city planning, with projects like the International Conference Centre and future smart city developments underway.
Economic Reform and Revenue Generation
Digitization has been central to Mbah’s economic reforms. Land and tax systems were modernized, broadening the revenue base and improving transparency, all without imposing new taxes. These measures have attracted investors and strengthened the state’s economy, demonstrating that governance can be efficient, accountable, and growth-oriented.
Transport and Aviation
Mbah launched Enugu Air and upgraded urban transport infrastructure, including modern bus terminals and a fleet of CNG-powered buses, easing mobility for residents and creating new employment opportunities.
Leadership Style and Legacy
Described by analysts as a “talk and do” leader, Mbah combines strategic planning with direct engagement at the grassroots level. His cabinet has been restructured to align with developmental goals, including the creation of a Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to harness local potential. These steps demonstrate a focus on long-term, sustainable governance.
As he celebrates his 54th birthday on March 17, 2026, stakeholders and citizens honor a leader whose tenure has consistently prioritized progress, inclusivity, and citizen welfare. Supporters have even suggested endorsing him as a sole candidate in the 2027 elections, reflecting confidence in his leadership and track record.
Governor Mbah’s journey from campaign promises to tangible achievements illustrates a governance model grounded in vision, action, and accountability; an enduring legacy for Enugu State and a benchmark for Nigerian leadership.
