The Federal High Court in Lagos State has jailed a medical doctor and founder of MedContour Services Ltd., Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju. The plastic surgeon was jailed following a failed plastic surgery that resulted in the death of one Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.
The report was contained in a report by a former Director-General, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC, Babatunde Irukera. He stated this on X, platform on Friday, May 17.
In his tweet, Irukera, tweeting as #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 were 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 enforcement with audacity and the will to prosecute competently and diligently. Good day for consumers of professional services,” Irukera wrote.
Recall that in year 2020, the FCCPC arraigned Adepoju on five counts pressed against her before Justice Mohammed Liman.
The FCCPC accused the cosmetic surgeon of shunning summons by the agency to appear and produce a certain document
