Chimamanda Adichie Serves Euracare Hospital With Legal Notice Over Son’s De@th
Chimamanda Adichie Serves Euracare Hospital With Legal Notice Over Son’s De@th
Chimamanda Adichie serves Euracare Hospital with legal notice over son’s de@th. Chimamanda Adichie has served Euracare Hospital in Lagos with a legal notice, alleging that medical negligence and professional impropriety led to the death of her 21-month-old son Nkanu Nnamdi.
Nkanu, one of Adichie’s twin sons, died on January 7, 2026, following complications during a series of preparatory medical procedures.
The legal notice dated January 10 argued that the attending anaesthesiologist and other medical personnel at Euracare breached their duty of care.
According to the filing, the child had been referred to Euracare from Atlantis Pediatric Hospital on January 6 for critical procedures ahead of an emergency medical evacuation.
The procedures included an echocardiogram, a brain MRI, a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), and a lumbar puncture.
Intravenous sedation was said to have been administered using propofol.
It added that a specialist team at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, United States, was on standby to receive him.
The legal document stated that during transport from the MRI suite to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory while under sedation, the child suffered sudden and severe complications, which culminated in his death.
“Our clients inform us that these procedures were required as part of the preparatory process for the child’s transfer and medical evacuation to the United States, where a specialist team at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, was already on standby to receive him,” the notice reads in part
“It is our further brief that sedation was administered on the child at your facility using propofol.
During transport to the cath lab following the MRI procedure under intravenous sedation, the child suffered sudden and severe complications, culminating in his untimely death on the 7th of January, 2026.”
Adichie’s legal representatives outlined multiple alleged lapses in care. They claim the child was moved between clinical areas without adherence to critical patient-safety protocols. Specific concerns raised include potential propofol dosing issues, inadequate airway protection, a lack of continuous monitoring, and movement without supplemental oxygen, proper equipment, or sufficient medical personnel in attendance.

The notice to Euracare Hospital demands the provision, within seven days, of certified copies of all related medical records. The request includes admission notes, anaesthetic charts, drug administration records, monitoring logs, procedural notes, ICU records, and the identities of all involved staff.
The hospital was instructed to preserve all evidence, including CCTV footage, electronic monitoring data, pharmacy records, and internal communications.
The notice also warned that failure to comply or any destruction of evidence would lead to legal action and all available judicial remedies.
The Lagos government has also ordered an investigation into the allegations.

NNPC Commissions, Hands Over Rehabilitated Wards To National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi
In keeping with its commitment to impact positively on the lives of Nigerians, NNPC Limited has commissioned and handed over three units of 100-bed capacity wards it rehabilitated as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility to the management of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, Lagos.
The intervention carried out by the NNPC Foundation Ltd./Gte., the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of NNPC Limited, involved the rehabilitation and upgrade of Wards G, H, and J, complete with the installation of new beds and the introduction of a central medical gas system designed to enhance the standard of care provided by the hospital.

The rehabilitation also included the replacement of roofing and ceiling of the Wards, upgrade of electrical and mechanical systems, and installation of new vinyl floors in all three wards.
Prior to the intervention, the wards were in a state that limited their use, which in turn constrained the hospital’s in-patient care capacity.
Speaking at the commissioning and handover ceremony, the Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, explained that the concept of profitability in NNPC Limited is not restricted to increase in production and revenue alone, as it embraces the level of social impact the company makes.
The GCEO, who was represented by the Chief Financial Officer, Adedapo Segun, said the Company is proud of the rehabilitation and upgrade work done in the hospital’s wards, because of its immense social impact.
On her part, Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Emmanuella Arukwe, said through the intervention, NNPC Foundation has helped to strengthen a facility that has served Nigerians for many decades.
“Beyond the immediate benefits, this effort reflects the role NNPC Foundation plays as the social impact arm of NNPC Limited. Our focus remains on practical interventions that improve lives and align with national priorities in healthcare”, she stated.
Providing further view into the project, the Medical Director of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, Dr. Wakeel Lawal, said the Management was constrained by the dire situation of the facilities to write to NNPC Foundation for intervention.
He expressed gratitude to the Management of NNPC Limited for granting the request and delivering an outstanding transformation in bringing the wards to international standards, stressing that what NNPC Limited has done goes beyond rehabilitation. It represents a renewal of hope. The commissioning and handover was witnessed by NNPC Ltd.’s Executive Vice President – Business Services, Mrs Sophia Mbakwe.
