A Federal High Court in Lagos State has convicted medical doctor Anuoluwapo Adepoju for the death of a client following a failed plastic surgery.
Babatunde Irukera, a former Director-General of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC, disclosed This on Friday.
Posting on X, Irukera 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 and otherwise. This is how society should work and grow.
“Dr. Anu Adepoju and her medical practice were 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 enforced with audacity and the will to prosecute competently and diligently. Good day for consumers of professional services.”
In 2020, Dr Adepoju reportedly conducted a plastic surgery that resulted in the death of Nneka Onwuzuligbo.
In July of the same year, the FCCPC charged her and her hospital, MedContour Services Limited, on five counts. The charges included her refusal to honour an FCCPC invitation and provide documents for the investigation.
In November 2020, Adepoju was suspended indefinitely from practising medicine pending the outcome of disciplinary proceedings by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
