It was a sad tale of how Nick Imudia, a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Konga, one of Nigeria’s e-commerce giants, 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, killed himself on the night of Tuesday, June 25, by jumping from the balcony of his Lekki, Lagos apartment.
Before jumping, he had called his US-based brother to instruct him 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.
He gave love a second chance when he got married to a Caucasian.
Everyone assumed he had reached his zen only to wake up to news of his suicide.
Before Konga, Nick had stints with TCL/Alcatel as a regional director and Microsoft Device and Services as the GM/MD for West and Central Africa.
Hmmm!!!
Never assume people are living their best life always check on your friends. Everybody is going through some personal tough moments.
Konga is owned by the computer guru, Leo Stan Ekeh; his son took over from Nick. But Nick was doing well with his own computer-based company. Police should investigate the death thoroughly.
