Dr Anu of Medcountour has been arrested and charged to court by the Federal Government over the death of Mrs Nneka Miriam Barbra Onwuzuligbo.

She's been accused of carrying out a botched cosmetic surgery which led to Nneka's death.

In a viral video released in April, Dr Anu stated that Nneka died at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, where she had gone for treatment on pneumonia.

She said that during treatment at the hospital, Nneka was made to lie on her butt which was yet to heal after the cosmetic surgery performed on her.

Speaking in a recent interview, Dr Anu denied claims that she uses blood and other body parts of her client for rituals.

“Only a gullible person will believe that. First, our parents are awake for surgery. We do not put patients to sleep. Secondly, how is it possible to do such a thing when you have nurses, anesthesiologists, and other people there and then you start taking blood and other body products for rituals? The only time we ever do anything to a patient is to shave the patient because that is important. We advise patients to shave themselves, and if they do not, the nurses help them. But if they do not want to do that at all, its fine. We also ask them to remove their artificial nails on their thumb and index fingers. Blood is only taken when we need to do pre op investigation and that is done way before surgery is done", she said.
