A Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday further adjourned until November 20 to adopt written addresses in the trial of a surgeon, Anuoluwapo Adepoju, charged with alleged evasion from an investigation into a failed plastic surgery. The case, which was scheduled for adoption of addresses on Tuesday, did not go on as earlier scheduled.
The case has, consequently, been adjourned until November. The defendant is charged by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission . She is standing trial 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 re-arraigned on July 17, 2020, alongside her medical outfit, before Justice Mohammed Liman.
The court had then ordered the defence to open its case. The case, however, suffered several adjournments on different dates for various reasons. On May 5 , the defence opened its case and called the first defendant as sole witness. The defendant was led in evidence and also cross-examined, after which the court adjourned the case until June 21 for the adoption of written addresses. On June 21, the court did not sit, and the case was then adjourned until July 17 and again adjourned until Oct.
