The Federal High Court in Lagos State has convicted and sentenced Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju, a medical doctor and founder of MedContour Services, to one year in prison for conducting a botched plastic surgery that led to the death of Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.
Justice Mohammed Liman delivered the verdict, sentencing Dr. Adepoju to a one-year jail term. However, she was given the option to pay a fine of N100,000 instead of serving the jail term.
Reacting to the judgment, former Director-General of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, Babatunde Irukera, expressed his satisfaction with the development in a post on his X handle, stating that he was proud of the outcome.
He wrote, “Today is a day of pride for me that I personally prosecuted Anu Adepoju and her medical practice.
