The court made the decision to allow preparations for the formal hearing into the circumstances surrounding the child’s death.

The inquiry is expected to examine available evidence and hear from relevant witnesses.


Master Nkanu’s passing had drawn public attention due to his parents’ prominence, especially Adichie’s global standing as a celebrated writer.

The coroner’s process is aimed at establishing the cause and surrounding facts of the tragedy.


Proceedings are set to resume in April next year, when the court will begin taking evidence in the matter.
