Adichie communicated her grief and allegations 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 in the message, the authenticity of which was confirmed by her team. 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.

While the specific details of the alleged negligence have not been publicly disclosed, 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 established that the healthcare provider had a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused harm.

Legal experts note that cases of alleged medical negligence often require thorough investigation, including review of medical records, expert testimony, and analysis of hospital protocols. "Establishing negligence requires demonstrating a clear link between the actions or omissions of the medical staff and the adverse outcome," explained Dr. Olufemi Taiwo, a medical law professor at the University of Lagos, who is not directly involved in this case. "This often involves complex medical evidence and expert witness testimony to determine if the standard of care was breached."

Euracare hospital has not yet issued a public statement regarding the allegations. The legal notice served by Adichie's solicitors marks the beginning of a potentially lengthy legal process. The CCTV footage and medical records requested will likely be crucial in determining the course of the investigation. The family has not released any further information.
