Controversial Nigerian BBL Doctor Passes Away After Critical Illness
Dr. Anuoluwapo Adepoju, a well-known Nigerian plastic surgeon and founder of MedContour Services Ltd., has reportedly passed away following a critical illness.
Dr. Anu, as she was popularly known, was recently convicted by the Federal High Court in Lagos over the failed plastic surgery that led to the death of her patient, Nneka Onwuzuligbo, in 2020.
Dr. Anu’s medical career has been marred by controversy and legal battles. Her conviction stemmed from charges brought by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), which included her failure to comply with an investigation and her refusal to produce necessary documents related to the case. The court sentenced her to a one-year jail term or a fine of N100,000.

Nneka Onwuzuligbo’s tragic death in 2020 brought significant public attention to Dr. Anu and her practices. The surgery at MedContour led to severe complications, and Nneka died from infections contracted during the procedure. This incident, coupled with complaints about Dr. Anu’s practices, prompted the FCCPC to seal her clinic and launch an investigation.
Dr. Anu’s rise to fame was significantly fueled by social media, where she showcased her cosmetic surgery work, attracting a large following. However, her methods and the safety standards of her clinic were frequently called into question. The case highlighted broader issues within Nigeria’s cosmetic surgery industry and underscored the need for stricter regulations and oversight.
The recent news of her passing has sparked a mixture of reactions, reflecting the polarized views on her professional conduct and the broader implications for medical practices in Nigeria.
