Former Chief Executive Officer of Konga, one of Nigeria’s e-commerce giants, Nick Imudia, has reportedly ended it all.
It was reported that Nick committed the act by jumping from the balcony of his apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State on the evening of Tuesday, June 25, 2024.
Until the time of his death, he was the CEO of D.light, a leading innovator in the distribution and financing of residential solar energy solutions and transformational household products.
Before his death, the businessman reportedly made a call to his United States-based brother to give him instructions on how to distribute his wealth and also called his young daughter to inform her that he would always be there for her, and that all she needed to do was to look in the sky and he would see her.
According to a post on an online platform – TheWill, friends, family and associates of Imudia are still in shock and can’t comprehend why he would commit suicide.
An indigene of the Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, Imudia was previously married to the mother of his young daughter.
The marriage ended due to irreconcilable differences.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the case to our correspondent on Thursday.
“Yes, it is true. He committed the act on June 25,” Hundeyin said.
Before Konga, Nick had stints with TCL/Alcatel as a regional director and Microsoft Device and Services as the GM/MD for West and Central Africa.
