A former Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Konga, one of Nigeria’s e-commerce giants, Nick Imudia , has committed suicide. He died on the night of Tuesday, June 25 by jumping from the balcony of his apartment at Lekki in Lagos.
He 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.
Before taking his life, Nick had called his brother based in the US to give him instructions on how to distribute his wealth in case of any eventuality.
He also called his young daughter and assured her that he would always be there for her and that all she needed to do was to look up in the sky and he would see her. Nick had his young daughter from a previous marriage.
Nick was from the Ika South Local Government of Delta State. He was married to the mother of his young daughter who also hails from the same local government. The marriage did not last and Nick got married again to a Caucasian.
His friends, family and associates are in shock as to why he took his life. No one is sure why he took his own life.
Nick had worked with TCL/Alcatel as a regional director and Microsoft Device and Services as the GM/MD for West and Central Africa before becoming the CEO of Konga.
