Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court in Lagos State has convicted a medical doctor and founder of MedContour Services Ltd., Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju, for conducting a failed plastic surgery resulting in the death of Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.
The justice found her guilty and sentenced her to a one-year jail term with the option of paying a ₦100,000.
A former Director-General of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Babatunde Irukera, disclosed this on Friday in an X post.
Irukera wrote, “Today is a day of pride for me as I personally prosecuted Anu Adepoju and her medical practice. Though I’ve left, the case has concluded 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 on all five counts charged by FCCPC. The wheel of justice may grind slowly, but we must see it through. What we need is enforcement with audacity and the will to prosecute competently and diligently. A good day for consumers of professional services.”
