LAGOS — The Coroner’s Court sitting at the Igbosere Magistrates’ Court, Lagos Island, on Wednesday adjourned further proceedings in the inquest into the death of 21-month-old Master Nkanu Adichie-Esege, son of renowned author Chimamanda Adichie and Dr. Ivara Esege, until October 8, 2026.
Coroner Magistrate Atinuke Adetunji fixed the date following a disclosure by counsel to Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital, Prof. Taiwo Osipitan, SAN, that the Lagos State High Court had ordered a stay of the inquest pending the determination of a judicial review application filed by the hospital.
