Lagos Surgeon Found Guilty Of Killing Client

Anuoluwapo Adepoju, a physician, has been found guilty by the Federal High Court in Lagos State for the death of her patient, Nneka Onwuzuligbo.

Babatunde Irukera, a former Director-General of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), revealed this in a post via X on Friday. Nneka Onwuzuligbo allegedly died as a result of a botched plastic surgery procedure performed by Adepoju in 2020.

In July of the same year, she and her hospital, MedContour Services Limited, were charged with five counts by the FCCPC.

The charges bordered on her refusal to honour an invitation and produce documents to assist the investigation.

In his tweet, Irukera, while stating that the cosmetic surgeon was convicted in all the charges by FCCPC, commended his input and the judiciary for serving justice.

“Dr. Anu Adepoju & her medical practice convicted in all 5 counts charged by FCCPC.The wheel of justice may grind slow, but we must see it through. What we need are enforced with audacity & will to prosecute competently & diligently. Good day for consumers of professional services.

“Today is a day of pride for me that I 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,” he wrote.

People should stop endangering their lives all in the name of fashion. Plastic surgery can’t make you younger or more beautiful.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
