The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State has convicted a surgeon, Dr Anuoluwapo Adepoju, over the failed plastic surgery that led to the death of one Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.
Adepoju, who is the founder of MedContour Services Limited, was convicted by the court on Friday, May 17, 2024.
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) had, in 2020, arraigned the surgeon before Justice Mohammed Liman.

Adepoju was accused of shunning summons by the FCCPC to appear and produce a certain document.
Speaking on the development, a former Director-General of the FCCPC, Babatunde Irukera, in a post on his X account on Friday, said: “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 of otherwise. This is how society should work and grow.
“Dr. Anu Adepoju and 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 and will to prosecute competently and diligently. Good day for consumers of professional services.”
