The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State has convicted Anu Adepoju, a medical doctor and founder of MedContour Services Ltd., who conducted a failed plastic surgery that resulted in the death of Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.
Babatunde Irukera, a former director-general of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), disclosed via his X handle on Friday that the prolonged prosecution of Adepoju has led to a conviction.
“Today is a day of pride for me that I personally prosecuted Anu Adepoju & her medical practice,” Irukera said.
“Though I’ve left, the case has ended in a conviction strengthening the accountability framework for all in society, professionals or otherwise. This is how society should work & grow.
“Dr. Anu Adepoju & 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 & will to prosecute competently & diligently. Good day for consumers of professional services.”
