According to the letter, the arraignment would come up on Monday, Nov. 21 before Justice Ramon Oshodi of the Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Ikeja.

“Olaleye will be facing a two-count charge bordering on defilement and sexual assault by penetration. He must appear before the Honourable Court and also make provision for a legal practitioner of his choice,” Alagbe said.

The DPP’s Principal State Council also revealed that a copy of information papers and proof of evidence were attached to the notification of arraignment already issued to the accused.
