Nigerian doctor reportedly found
A Nigerian medical doctor, identified as Satmak Silas Gideon, has passed away only six weeks after his wedding in Jos, Plateau state capital.

The deceased was reportedly found dead in his neighbour’s apartment in the wee hours of Wednesday, August 2, after returning from work.

According to a journalist who anchored his wedding reception, Bello Lukman, Dr. Satmak appeared to have been poisoned, but the incident is still being investigated by the police.

“RIP to Dr Satmak Silas. Oh, this is sad and agonising: I anchored Dr Satmak’s wedding reception on 17th June 2023 at Rochas and was hopeful of a perfect union only to be called Dr Satmak’s dead body was found in their neighbor’s apartment on Wednesday after earlier returning from JUTH around 4am. His dead body, according to his family members, shows signs of poisoning with signs of struggles on his hand,” Bello said in a Facebook post on Friday.

“How he got to his neighbour’s room at 4am is still a mystery while the neighbours’ delay in reporting his presence and death until 4pm since 4am is been investigated by the police. This is a very sad one Dr Satmak, you died just six weeks after your wedding. May Almighty God give us all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. May Almighty God expose your killers. Amen.”

The deceased doctor was inducted into the medical profession in February this year, and got married to his wife, Dina, in June.

Meanwhile, his friends, family and colleagues have trooped to social media to mourn his tragic passing.
