Nigerian celebrity doctor Dr Esho loses UK licence after being found guilty of sex for Botox

NIGERIAN doctor Tijion Esho has been struck off the medical list in the UK losing his licence to practise after being found guilty of giving free Botox injections to patients in exchange for sex.

Esho well is known for his medical opinion and commentaries on cosmetic surgery discussions on popular television programmes, including ITV’s This Morning, BBC’s Morning Live and E4’s Body Fixers. He was also regularly consulted on Body Fixers for E4, a channel operated by Channel Four, which aired for two seasons in 2016 and 2017 and made appearances on segments of BBC’s Morning Live until the summer of 2022.

In addition, Esho is the founder of the Esho Clinic, which has facilities in London, Liverpool, and Dubai and has a host of celebrity clients. While appearing before a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service yesterday, he confessed to an improper emotional relationship with the woman, referred to as Patient A, with whom he exchanged in inappropriate sexual messages on Instagram.

Dr Osho argued that he never had any physical sexual contact with Patient A, who provided sex services via OnlyFans and webcams. However, a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) panel sitting in Manchester ruled that Dr Esho did have sexual intercourse with Patient A at his clinic in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 2021, where he then administered here with Botox free-of-charge.

Hence, the tribunal found Dr Esho’s fitness to practise was impaired because of his misconduct and the tribunal announced that his name should be removed from the medical register. Also, the tribunal ruled the conduct of the doctor was sexually motivated and did not find Patient A to be vulnerable because of her profession.

Botox injections, according to a medical website Cleveland, improve appearance by relaxing muscles that cause wrinkles. They also treat medical conditions, including migraines, hyperhidrosis, overactive bladder, and eye problems and to maintain results, treatments are repeated every three to six months.
