Justice Must Prevail Over The Death Of Chimamanda Adichie’s Son – Husband

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda Adichie’s husband, Dr Ivara Esege, has declared that his family will not relent until justice is served over the death of their 21-month-old son, Nkanu Adichie Esege. He recently published a detailed opinion piece online, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Accusing the medical centre of withholding full medical records, Ivara stated that his family will continue fighting until they find out what caused the death of his young son.

He added that Eurocare hospital keeps trying to obstruct a judicial inquest into the circumstances of the tragedy.

His words, “We are waiting and hoping that Euracare will not be able to use its wealth and power to stop an inquest. If this is allowed to happen, it will be a mockery and abuse of the entire judicial system.

He was to be transferred the following day to Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States for treatment. Less than 24 hours after arriving at Euracare, he was dead. It is putting it mildly to call the loss of Nkanu devastating.

It has been a nightmare dealing with Euracare while keeping life as normal as possible for our daughter and for Nkanu’s twin brother and trying to protect my wife from much of this upheaval.”

WOW.
