A medical doctor and founder of MedContour Services Ltd., Dr Anuoluwapo Adepoju, has been convicted by the Federal High Court in Lagos State.
The news was disclosed by the former Director-General of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, Babatunde Irukera, on Friday.
The conviction stems from a failed plastic surgery that led to the death of Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.
Taking to his X handle @TundeIrukera, 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.
“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, reports confirmed that the FCCPC arraigned Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju on five counts before Justice Mohammed Liman.
The FCCPC accused the cosmetic surgeon of ignoring summons to appear and produce a specific document.
