THE Federal High Court in Lagos has convicted a medical doctor and Founder of MedContour Services Limited, Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju, over a botched plastic surgery that led to the death of her patient, Nneka Onwuzuligbo, in 2020.
The former boss of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Mr. Babatunde Irukera, who disclosed this on Friday, May 17, wrote on his X handle, #TundeIrukera: “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 was convicted in all five counts charged by FCCPC. The wheel of justice may grind slowly, but we must see it through.
“What we need are enforcement with audacity and the will to prosecute competently and diligently. Good day for consumers of professional services.”
Recall that FCCPC arraigned Adepoju on a five-count charge in 2020 before Justice Mohammed Liman over the death of Onwuzuligbo.
