Lagos government appeals Supreme Court case after doctor's rape acquittal, amid calls to restore justice faith.

The Lagos State Government is appealing to the Supreme Court against the Court of Appeal's decision to acquit Dr. Femi Olaleye, who was initially convicted of raping his wife's niece and sentenced to life in prison. The Court of Appeal had overturned the conviction, citing unreliable evidence. Civil rights groups are urging the government to restore public faith in the justice system by pursuing the appeal.
