Award-winning Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has accused Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital, Victoria Island, Lagos, of negligence and actions she said had hindered investigations into the death of her twin son, Nkanu.
In a post shared on Instagram on Saturday, Adichie alleged that the hospital had engaged in conduct aimed at delaying inquiries into the circumstances surrounding her son’s death.
Nkanu, the 21-month-old son of the author, died on January 7, 2026, following a brief illness.
Adichie, who published a letter she said she wrote to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital, stated that she decided to make the letter public because, according to her, remaining silent was not an option.
