Authorities are currently liaising with the Israeli Embassy in Nigeria to carry out the necessary consular procedures.
The sudden death has caused confusion and concern, with investigations ongoing to determine the exact cause. This incident adds to recent reports of unexplained deaths in Abuja hotels, underscoring the need for thorough inquiries into such occurrences.
