Dr Anuoluwapo Adepoju, the founder of MedContour Services Ltd, has been convicted on all 5 charges following several botched surgeries at her clinic.

The cosmetic surgeon conducted a failed plastic surgery that resulted in the death of one Nneka Onwuzuligbo in 2020.

She was tried alongside her clinic, MedContour Services Ltd., on a five-count charge bordering on a refusal to honour an invitation for an investigation into post-body surgery complications, as well as the production of investigation documents.

She was charged by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).

She was re-arraigned on July 17, 2020, alongside her medical outfit.
