The social media was abuzz in the last few days with the news of the arrest and arraignment of Dr Anuoluwapo Adepoju of Med Contour Services Limited, a Lagos-based medical doctor, by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC, over the death of one of her clients, Mrs Nneka Onwuzuligbo.
According to the FCCPC, Dr Adepoju and her hospital were arraigned for allegedly obstructing the investigation by the commission into the case which led to the closure of the hospital for more than two months now.
However, the events of the last few days by the FCCPC and its chief executive officer, who is also the prosecuting counsel, Mr Babatunde Irukera, have drawn the curious eyes of the public over the handling of the case.
The recent actions of Mr Irukera have raised eyebrows and questions are being asked as to his personal involvement in the case which borders on a vendetta.
Some of the questions begging for answers over the case are: How else can we explain why the FCCPC would get involved in a case that is outside its jurisdiction? Why would Mr Irukera, the CEO of a Federal Government agency, personally come to Lagos from Abuja and invade Dr Adepoju’s clinic with a team of police officers without a search warrant or any legal backing of any sort? Why does he appear to have an obsessive interest in Dr Adepoju’s case? In whose interest is he hell-bent on circumventing the law just to embarrass Dr Adepoju? Why would a self-acclaimed lawyer act in this manner?
