The Lagos State Police Command said it has begun an investigation into the death of the former Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Konga, one of Nigeria’s e-commerce giants, Mr Nick Imudia.
Sources at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID revealed that detectives of the Homicide section had visited the scene of the incident and would carry out forensic analysis of things found at the scene.
According to reports, Imudia, who was until his death, the CEO of D.light, a leading innovator in the distribution and financing of residential solar energy solutions and transformational household products, killed himself Tuesday night by jumping from the balcony of his Lekki, Lagos apartment.
The report said: “Before making the jump, he had called his US-based brother to give him instructions on how to distribute his wealth should anything happen to him.
“He also called his young daughter from a previous relationship and told her he would always be there for her and that all she needed to do was to look to the sky and he would see her.
“His friends, family and associates are in shock as to why he would commit suicide. No one is sure why he took his own life.
“From the Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, Nick was married to the mother of his young daughter, who was also from the same local government with him. The marriage ended due to irreconcilable differences.
“He gave love a second chance when he got married to a Caucasian. Everyone assumed he had reached his zenith only to wake up to news of his suicide.”
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.
