A 73-year-old Israeli man, Avi Warshaviak, has died after falling ill in a hotel at the Garki area of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

According to a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on X on Sunday, the incident happened on Saturday, at the Corinthia Villa Hotel, where the man was staying with his wife.

Sources said Warshaviak suddenly developed a health problem around 9:51 a.m. and was quickly taken to the Asokoro General Hospital.

Sadly, doctors confirmed him dead shortly after arrival.

“The Chief Security Officer of the hotel, Okorie Emmanuel, reported the case to the Garki Divisional Police Headquarters at about 11:23 a.m,” Makama wrote.

According to Makama, police officers visited the hotel and the hospital, took records of the incident, and moved the body to the hospital’s mortuary for an autopsy.

Police sources added that efforts are now being made to reach the Israeli Embassy in Nigeria to carry out the necessary consular procedures.
