In a ruling delivered on Friday, the appellate court held that the lower court made an error in its judgment, leading to Olaleye’s discharge and acquittal.
This development follows his October 2023 conviction by the Special Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Lagos.
The lower court had found him guilty on two counts: defilement of a child and sexual assault by penetration.
