Court convicts doctor Anu Adepoju over client’s death

The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State has convicted a medical doctor, Anu Adepoju, over a failed plastic surgery that resulted in the death of one Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.

Anu, who’s the founder of MedContour Services LTD, was convicted on Friday, May 17, on a five-count charge bordering on a refusal to honour an invitation for an investigation into post-body surgery complications and failure to produce investigation documents.

Recall that shortly after the news of Onwuzuligbo demise went viral, Anu was arrested and later charged to court alongside her company by the Federal Competition and Consumers Protection Commission (FCCPC) in 2020.

The prosecuting counsel for the FCCPC, Babatunde Irukera, announced the conviction on X.

Irukere had earlier disclosed that the offence carries either a prison term, a fine, or both.
