UK-based Nigerian doctor, Oluwafemi Esho loses license for soliciting sex in exchange for Botox

A Nigerian cosmetic doctor residing in the United Kingdom, Oluwafemi Tijion Esho, has been stripped of his license to practice following allegations of sexual misconduct toward a patient.

Esho reportedly solicited sex from a female patient in exchange for a Botox injection. Despite initially admitting to engaging in an improper emotional relationship with the woman, characterized by “inappropriate” sexual messages exchanged on Instagram, Esho denied any physical sexual contact with the patient, who is identified as an OnlyFans model.

However, a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) panel, convened in Manchester, determined that Esho had indeed engaged in sexual intercourse with the patient at his clinic in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2021. Additionally, the panel found evidence that Esho administered Botox to the patient free of charge and suggested he could provide further treatments in exchange for sexual favors.

The tribunal concluded that the doctor’s actions were sexually motivated, although it did not consider the patient to be vulnerable due to her profession. Consequently, the tribunal deemed Esho’s fitness to practice as impaired by his misconduct and ordered his removal from the medical register.

Esho, known as a prominent TV cosmetic doctor and the founder of the Esho Clinic with branches in London, Liverpool, and Dubai, caters to a clientele that includes celebrities.
