The Lagos State Police Command has initiated an investigation into the death of Mr. Nick Imudia, the former Chief Executive Officer of Konga, one of Nigeria’s prominent e-commerce giants.
Sources from the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, revealed that detectives from the Homicide Section had visited the scene of the incident and would conduct a forensic analysis of the items found there.
DAILY POST reports that Imudia, who was serving as the CEO of D.light, a leading innovator in the distribution and financing of residential solar energy solutions and transformational household products, died by suicide on Tuesday night by jumping from the balcony of his Lekki, Lagos, apartment.
Imudia was said to have called his US-based brother to give him instructions on how to distribute his wealth should anything happen to him before making the jump.
He had 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 look to the sky and he would see her.
Nick Imudia hailed from Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State. He was married to the mother of his young daughter, who was also from the same local government, but their marriage ended due to irreconcilable differences.
He later married a Caucasian woman, and many believed he had achieved personal and professional fulfilment.
