Court Convicts Surgeon over Botched Surgery Leading to Patient's Death
The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State on Friday has convicted and sentenced a medical doctor and founder of MedContour Services, Anuoluwapo Adepoju, who was standing trial for conducting a failed plastic surgery that resulted in the death of one Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020. Justice Mohammed Liman found her guilty and sentenced her to a one-year jail term. 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.
