Adichie Demands Accountability Over Son's Death in Lagos

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has publicly accused Euracar Multi Specialist Hospital in Lagos of attempting to conceal the circumstances surrounding the death of her 21-month-old son, Nkanu Nnamdi Adichie Eseg, who passed away on January 7. In a letter addressed to the hospital's board chairman, dated April 16, 2026, Adichie detailed her allegations of medical negligence, claiming that Dr.

Tosin Majekodunmi, the hospital's medical director, admitted that an excess dose of propofol was administered during a medical procedure. Adichie asserts that the anaesthesiologist, Dr.

Titu Ogundar, failed to meet required care standards, leading to her son's death from hypoxic brain injury and cardiac arrest. Following the incident, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria suspended Dr.

Ogundar and Dr. Majekodunmi pending disciplinary proceedings.

Adichie has faced resistance in obtaining her son's medical records and claims the hospital is obstructing justice. She is determined to pursue legal action despite alleged threats from senior figures linked to the hospital.
