The Guardian Nigeria reports that a family statement has confirmed the death of one of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s twin boys, Nkanu Nnamdi, after a brief illness.
Premium Times and Punch also published the confirmation, noting the family’s request for privacy as condolences pour in from readers, writers, and public figures.

Adichie has long kept her children out of the public eye, making the announcement especially sobering for fans who know her as a fiercely private cultural voice.
Echotitbits Take: This is grief beyond headlines. The most respectful response is space—expect her public schedule to go quiet as the family mourns.
