“The clinic’s owner is on the run,” he told Punch on Thursday.
Asked if the fleeing doctor had been declared wanted, Hundeyin confirmed this, stating that the doctor was still considered a “suspect” in the case.
“She’s on the run. Of course, she’s a suspect,” Hundeyin added.
The BBL procedure is a form of cosmetic surgery that involves extracting fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the buttocks to create a fuller, rounder appearance.
Medical experts have over time cautioned about the potential side effects of the procedure, however, videos have emerged online of women, particularly in Lagos, claiming to have successfully undergone the surgery.
