In a tragic turn of events, Nick Imudia, a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Konga, one of Nigeria’s e-commerce giants, reportedly committed suicide in his home.
Nick, 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, kìlled himself on the night of Tuesday, June 25.
He was said to have jumped off the balcony of his Lekki, Lagos apartment, hit the hard ground surface and died.
And prior to taking the plunge, he had reportedly called his US-based brother to give him instructions on how to distribute his wealth should anything untoward happen to him.
It was also said that Nick 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, according to reports.
It is also not yet clear 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 on account of irreconcilable differences.
He gave love a second chance when he got married to a Caucasian.
Just when many thought he had reached his zenith, they were shocked to hear the news of his suicide.
Earlier before Konga, Nick had worked with TCL/Alcatel as a regional director and Microsoft Device and Services as the GM/MD for West and Central Africa.
