Anuoluwapo Adepoju, a popular Lagos cosmetic surgeon arriving her trial in Lagos on Friday [PHOTO CREDIT: FCCPC]The trial of a popular Lagos cosmetic surgeon, Anuoluwapo Adepoju, could not continue on Thursday due to the absence of the trial judge, Mohammed Liman., on July 4, arraigned Ms Adepoju, for alleged failure to comply with its requirements to appear and provide information relevant to an ongoing investigation into a failed plastic surgery.

The case was adjourned to today July 9 for the commencement of trial. However, due to the absence of the judge, the court’s registrar said the case had been adjourned till a date to be fixed.In a five-count charge brought against the defendants on Friday, the prosecution alleged that without sufficient cause, the first defendant failed to appear before the FCCPC in compliance with the commissions’ summons dated April 15.

The offences were said to have contravened the provisions of sections 11, 33, 110, 113 and 159 of the FCCPC Act, 2018.After her plea, defence counsel, Maria Jonnes, informed the court of a preliminary objection challenging the charge. According to him, the subject before the court is not on the issue of a violation, and so, there is nothing in the preliminary objection that can stand.

According to LUTH, Ms Adepoju had continued to perform surgeries despite the fact that her facility was sealed off by the Lagos State Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency. The hospital added that upon admission into LUTH, the first surgical debridement performed on the deceased on January 10, 2019, revealed “extensive sloughing, with foul-smelling discharge from the deceased debrided hips and purulent discharges from puncture wounds on the anterior abdominal wall.”
