According to reports, Mr. Nick Imudia, the former CEO of Konga, one of Nigeria’s biggest e-commerce companies, killed himself at home.
Reportedly, on Tuesday night, June 25, Imudia, the CEO of D.light, a pioneer in the financing and distribution of revolutionary home goods and residential solar energy solutions, committed suicide by plunging from the balcony of his Lekki, Lagos, apartment.
“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 in 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 previously 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.”
Prior to joining Konga, Nick held positions as regional director at TCL/Alcatel and general manager/MD at Microsoft Device and Services for West and Central Africa.
