Popular Nigerian plastic surgeon Dr. Anu Adepoju has reportedly passed away. This news follows her conviction in May 2024 by the Federal High Court for a failed plastic surgery that led to Nneka Onwuzuligbo’s death in 2020.
According to a popular Instagram tabloid, a post shared a photo of Dr. Anu in her final days, mentioning that her arm was severely damaged and warning against the dangers of using “cocktail drugs.”
Sharing a video of Dr. Anu before she passed away, blogger Cutie Juls wrote:
“Hmmmm Dr Anu before she passed on. Can you see the arm? Stay away from her cocktail drugs, and some of you were calling Cutie a hater. Just look at what the cocktails she prepares herself and sells to people did to her. How can anyone sane accept to buy these drugs from her? She successfully damaged some of our favorites with these cocktail drugs. Hmm. #saynotodrugs“
The news has sparked discussions on the safety and regulation of plastic surgery and the use of unverified drugs. Many urged people to avoid such risky procedures and to seek professional medical advice.
