Coroner Adjourns Inquest into Chimamanda Adichie's Son
The coroner's inquest into the death of Chimamanda Adichie's son was adjourned by Magistrate Atinuk Adetunji due to the failure of involved parties to file necessary statements as previously directed. The inquest, which aims to ascertain the truth surrounding the circumstances of the child's death, is now scheduled to resume on June 3, 2026.
The child was admitted to Euracar Hospital on January 6, 2026, and subsequently referred to Atlantic Paediatric Hospital for urgent medical procedures on January 7, 2026. The Medical Dental Council of Nigeria has established a prima facie case of medical negligence against three doctors: Dr. Tosin Majekodunmi, Medical Director of Euracar; Dr. Titu Ogundar, an anesthesiologist at the hospital; and Dr. Atinuk Uwajeh, Chief Medical Director of Atlantic Paediatric Hospital.
The court has emphasized the need for cooperation among parties to ensure timely filing of documents to avoid further delays in the inquest process.
