Nigerian bestselling novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on Saturday accused a Lagos hospital of attempting to obstruct an inquest into the death of her 21-month-old son at the facility six months ago.
Nkanu Nnamdi died on January 7 at Euracare Multispecialist Hospital, where he had been taken for diagnostic tests including MRI before he was due to travel to the United States for specialised care.
The post on her Instagram page was her first public comment since the death.
Adichie who lives in the United States but was in Nigeria for the Christmas holidays published a letter she wrote to the hospital, dated April 16.
