Amedical doctor and founder of MedContour Services Ltd., Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju, who conducted a failed plastic surgery that resulted in the death of one Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020, has been convicted by the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.
Former Director-General of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, Babatunde Irukera, who disclosed this in a tweet yesterday, wrote: “Today is a day of pride for me that I personally prosecuted Anu Adepoju and her medical practice.
Though I’ve left, the case has ended in a conviction strengthening the accountability framework for all in society, professionals or otherwise.
This is how society should work and gro
“Dr. Anu Adepoju and her medical practice convicted in all 5 counts charged by FCCPC.
The wheel of justice may grind slowly, but we must see it through. What we need are enforced with audacity and the will to prosecute competently and diligently.
“Good day for consumers of professional services.”
In 2020, the FCCPC had arraigned Adepoju on five counts before Justice Mohammed Liman.
The FCCPC had accused the cosmetic surgeon of shunning summons by the agency to appear and produce a certain document.
