JUST-IN: Police To Probe Death Of Ex-Konga CEO

The Nigeria Police has pledged to investigate what actually led to the death of former Chief Executive Officer of Konga, one of Nigeria’s e-commerce giants, Nick Imudia, who reportedly died by suicide.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Adegoke Fayoade, said this on Thursday on the sideline of the 2024 Chartered Pension Institute of Nigeria (CPIN) investiture/induction ceremony of new fellows and associates in Maryland, Lagos.

Fayoade said the police would want to ascertain what was responsible for the death of Imudia.

The deceased was said to have committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of his apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State in the evening of Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

Prior to 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, TheWill, friends, family and associates of Imudia are still in shock on 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.
