“The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny.’’- Wole Soyinka (Nobel Laureate)

December 2015, Lilian Essien was laden with the pain of losing her almost 3-year-old son, Shawn, to medical negligence.

She petitioned the Medical & Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) in February 2016 and on Tuesday, July 9, 2019, Dr. Nwiku Mezie Vitalis was found guilty of medical negligence. Templars provided pro bono legal counsel.

EiE Nigeria is committed to giving voice to the voiceless.

Active Citizens!  Speak up against injustice!

May Shawn's soul continue to rest in peace.
