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 signals the family's intent to investigate the circumstances surrounding the child's death and potentially pursue legal action.

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. To prove negligence, it must be demonstrated that the healthcare provider had a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused harm.

While details of the alleged negligence have not been publicly disclosed, the request for CCTV footage suggests the family is seeking to understand the timeline of events and the care provided to Nnamdi during his illness. Experts in medical law note that CCTV footage can be crucial evidence in determining whether proper protocols were followed and whether any errors in treatment occurred.

Euracare hospital has not yet issued a public statement regarding the allegations. The investigation is ongoing, and further developments are expected as the hospital responds to the legal notice and provides requested documentation. The case highlights the importance of accountability in healthcare and the rights of patients and their families to seek redress when they believe negligence has occurred.
