A UK panel to decide on a Nigerian doctor’s free treatment in exchange for sex with a patient
The woman, referred to as Patient A, earlier claimed she got free botox in return for sex at his clinic. She also alleged that they exchanged “inappropriate” sexual messages on Instagram.
Later this month, the Medical Tribunal Practitioners Service (MPTS) in Britain will make a decision about the continued practice of Oluwafemi ‘Tijion’ Esho, a Nigerian-born cosmetic surgeon practicing in the UK, after it was reported that he had exchanged free botox for having sex with a patient.
Injections known as “Botox” use a toxin to temporarily impair muscle movement. The goal of the procedure is to make face wrinkles less noticeable.
It was reported that Esho, who has appeared on a number of well-known TV shows, acknowledged having an inappropriate emotional relationship with the patient—a model for OnlyFans.
The woman, referred to as Patient A, earlier claimed she got free botox in return for sex at his clinic. She also alleged that they exchanged “inappropriate” sexual messages on Instagram.
During a recent hearing, the Medical Tribunal Practitioners Service, MPTS, found Esho exchanged toxin treatment for sex with the woman.
The 42-year-old doctor, who has several celebrity clients, had told the tribunal he never had any physical sexual contact with Patient A.
But the panel, during sitting in Manchester, ruled Esho did have sexual intercourse with the woman at his clinic in Newcastle in 2021 and administered botox free of charge.
The tribunal also ruled that the doctor told the woman he “could get away with giving her Botox in exchange for sexual services”.
The panel found that the overall conduct of the doctor was sexually motivated, but it did not find Patient A to be vulnerable because of her profession.
In response, Esho, who is the founder of the Esho Clinic, which also has locations in London, Liverpool and Dubai, said he was “disappointed” with the MPTS’ ruling.
