The legal notice requests CCTV footage and other relevant medical records related to Nnamdi's treatment at the hospital. Adichie confirmed the authenticity of a WhatsApp message to family and friends, leaked on social media, in which she described the situation as "like living your worst nightmare."

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 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 demonstrated that the healthcare provider had a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused harm to the patient.

Legal experts note that proving medical negligence can be complex, often requiring expert testimony to establish the standard of care and demonstrate how it was breached. The requested CCTV footage and medical records will likely be crucial in determining the circumstances surrounding Nnamdi's death and whether negligence occurred.

Euracare hospital has not yet issued a public statement regarding the allegations. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the legal process unfolds.
