Nigeria: Chimamanda Adichie, Husband Urge Court to Dismiss Hospital's Suit Against Son's Death Inquest
Africa2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported11m ago
Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her husband, Ivara Esege, have asked the Lagos State High Court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital. The hospital's legal action seeks to halt a coroner's inquest into the death of the couple's 21-month-old son, Nkanu Adichie-Esege.
During the court proceedings, legal counsel Kemi Pinheiro argued on behalf of the parents that the hospital's application was premature. According to the defense, the coroner has not yet made any formal decisions that would legally warrant or support a challenge through judicial review.
