Medical Doctor Anuoluwapo Adepoju Convicted Over Failed Plastic Surgery

Date:

The Federal High Court in Lagos State has convicted and sentenced Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju, the founder of MedContour Services, for a failed plastic surgery that resulted in the death of Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.

Justice Mohammed Liman found her guilty and sentenced her to a one-year jail term. The case revolved around Adepoju’s refusal to honor an invitation for an investigation into post-body surgery complications and her failure to produce required documents

However, she was given the option of paying a ₦100,000, in lieu of the jail term.

While reacting to the judgement, a former Director-General of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, Babatunde Irukera in a post via his X formally (Twitter) handle, said he was proud of the development.

He 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 grow”

“Anu Adepoju and her medical practice were convicted on all five counts charged by FCCPC. The wheel of justice may grind slowly, but we must see it through. Good day for consumers of professional services.”
