Trial of popular Lagos plastic surgeon continues
The trial of a popular Lagos plastic surgeon, Anuoluwapo Adepoju, whose services allegedly resulted in the death of her patient, Nneka Onwuzuligbo, continued on Friday before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The first prosecution witness, Susie Onwuka, an official of the FCCPC, said the commission received a series of complaints from Ms Adepoju’s customers between March and April this year and efforts to probe the allegations were allegedly frustrated by the surgeon. The judge adjourned till October 14, 2020, for the defence counsel, Marian Jones, to cross-examine the witness.In a six-paragraph affidavit of completion of investigation attached to the charge sheet, the commission said it received complaints against Ms Adepoju from one Marlene Oluwakemi, Taiwo Temilade and Vivian Onwuzuligbo that the surgeon’s services “are unsafe for consumers,” and that she made “false, misleading and deceptive representation in relation to the marketing of their services.
The agency said the arrest was in furtherance of “an open investigation, on reasonable suspicion of illegal activities in an abundance of caution and consumer safety pending further inquiry”.
