A trágica morte de Nkanu Nnamdi, filho da autora nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie e do Dr. Ivara Esege, ocorreu em Lagos durante as férias de Natal após uma breve infecção. Planos de evacuação médica para os EUA estavam em andamento, mas seu estado piorou após exames no Hospital Euracare em Victoria Island em 6 de janeiro de 2026.
