Speaking to Newsday's Anne Soy, Nkanu's aunt Dr Anthea Nwandu has described the family's pain at their loss, and says they are calling for change in Nigeria's healthcare systems.

The hospital extended its "deepest sympathies" but in a statement denied any wrongdoing, stating its treatment met international standards. The Lagos State Government has ordered an investigation into the death.
