Lagos AG Battles VI Hospital to Uphold Inquest into Chimamanda Adichie’s Son’s Death

The Lagos State Attorney-General has challenged Eurapharma Care Services’ attempt to halt the coroner’s inquest into the tragic death of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s 21-month-old son. In a June filing, AG Lawal Pedro calls the hospital’s review application premature and an abuse of process. Citing Section 21 of the Lagos Coroners System Law, the state legal team rejects Eurapharma’s cremation argument and defends the coroner’s power to proceed. They also invoke Supreme Court precedents to show that calling witnesses first does not breach fair hearing. This showdown exposes gaps in Nigeria’s medical-legal protocols and raises questions about hospital accountability. Why is a top Lagos facility so determined to block an open inquest? The Adichie family deserves clear answers. Omo, this matter don long o! If you have nothing to hide, why use technicalities to suppress an ordinary inquest? Abeg, let the truth come out.
