Adichie communicated her grief and accusations of negligence in a WhatsApp message to family and friends, which was subsequently leaked on social media. "It is like living your worst nightmare," she wrote. Adichie's team confirmed the authenticity of the messages.

Nkanu Nnamdi was one of twin boys born to Adichie and Esege in 2024 via surrogacy, eight years after the birth of their first child, a daughter. The legal notice served to Euracare hospital suggests a formal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's death is underway. While the specific details of the alleged negligence have not been publicly disclosed, the request for CCTV footage indicates a focus on monitoring and documentation practices within the hospital.

Medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice, occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death to a patient. Determining negligence requires a thorough review of medical records, expert testimony, and an understanding of the applicable standard of care. Factors considered often include proper diagnosis, timely treatment, and adherence to established protocols.

"In cases like these, it's crucial to establish a clear timeline of events and assess whether the hospital staff acted reasonably and competently based on the information available to them at the time," explained Dr. Olufemi Taiwo, a medical law expert at the University of Lagos, who is not directly involved in the case. "Expert witnesses are typically called upon to evaluate the medical decisions made and determine if they met the expected standard of care."

Euracare hospital has not yet issued a public statement regarding the allegations. The investigation is ongoing, and further developments are expected as the legal process unfolds. The outcome of this case could have implications for patient safety and accountability within the Nigerian healthcare system.
