Adichie Accuses Euracare Hospital of Negligence in Son's Death

Novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie publicly accused Lagos hospital Euracare of negligence in the death of her 21-month-old son, Nkanu Nnamdi, who died on or shortly after January 6, 2026. Euracare denies the allegations. A court halted the planned inquest, shifting the dispute into civil and criminal litigation. Adichie's high-profile platform transforms what might have been a private legal matter into urgent public scrutiny of Nigeria's premium private healthcare sector and its regulatory oversight.
