Former Director-General of the Federal Competition and
Consumer Protection Commission, Babatunde Irukera, who disclosed this in a
tweet yesterday, wrote: “Today is a day of pride for me that I personally
prosecuted Anu Adepoju and her medical practice.
“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 and grow.
“Dr. Anu Adepoju and her medical practice convicted in all 5
counts charged by FCCPC.
“The wheel of justice may grind slowly, but we must see it
through. What we need are enforced with audacity and the will to prosecute
competently and diligently.
“Good day for consumers of professional services.”
In 2020, the FCCPC had arraigned Adepoju on five counts
before Justice Mohammed Liman.
The FCCPC had accused the cosmetic surgeon of shunning
summons by the agency to appear and produce a certain document.
