A Lagos coroner’s court suspends the inquest into the death of 21-month-old Nkanu Adichie-Esege, son of author Chimamanda Adichie and Dr Ivara Esege. According to multiple reports, Coroner Magistrate Atinuke Adetunji halts further proceedings at the Igbosere Magistrate Court in Lagos Island. The court orders the suspension to await directives from the Lagos State Chief Coroner, Justice Mojisola Dada. One report says the Attorney-General for Lagos State is involved in what is described as an intervention, and another source reports that the Lagos State Attorney-General denies interference. The suspension therefore takes place amid a dispute over whether the Attorney-General acted in a way that affected the inquest process. The coroner’s court does not resolve the underlying issues at the time of the suspension, but instead pauses the inquiry pending the Chief Coroner’s instructions. The next steps depend on the directives expected from the Chief Coroner, which will determine when the inquest can resume and in what manner.
