Court convicts plastic surgeon Anu Adepoju of killing patient in botched surgery
The Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Friday convicted Anu Adepoju over a botched plastic surgery that resulted in the death of her patient Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.
The doctor’s conviction was announced by Babatunde Irukera, the former head of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), who instituted the case against Ms Adepoju to bring justice for the deceased and her family.
“Dr Anu Adepoju and her medical practice convicted in all five counts charges by FCCPC,” Mr Irukera posted on X. “The wheel of justice may grind slow, but we must see it through. What we need are enforced with audacity and will to prosecute competently and diligently. Good day for consumers of professional services.”
There have been several complaints on social media from disgruntled patients who were not happy with the outcome of their cosmetic procedures conducted by Ms Adepoju.
