The coroner’s inquest into the death of 21-month-old Master Nkanu Adichie-Esege, son of renowned author Chimamanda Adichie and Dr. Ivara Esege, suffered a major setback, yesterday, after Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital told the Coroner’s Court that it had obtained an order of the Lagos State High Court staying further proceedings.
Meanwhile, the court adjourned the case to October 8, 2026.
The matter came before Coroner Magistrate Atinuke Adetunji at Igbosere Magisterial District, Yaba, Lagos, and was scheduled for the commencement of witness testimony.
