Former Konga CEO, Nick Imudia takes his own life
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 making the jump, he had called his US-based brother to give him instructions 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.
