The Nigeria Police have announced that they will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Nick Imudia, the former Chief Executive Officer of Konga, one of Nigeria’s leading e-commerce companies, who reportedly died by suicide.
Adegoke Fayoade, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, said this today on the sideline of the 2024 Chartered Pension Institute of Nigeria (CPIN) Investiture/Induction Ceremony of New Fellows and Associates in Lagos.
He said the Police would want to ascertain what led to his death.
Imudia was said to have committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of his apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State on the evening of Tuesday, June 25, 2024.
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.
According to a post on an online platform, The Will, friends, family and associates of Imudia are still in shock as to 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.
