The family of the late former Chief Executive of e-commerce giant Konga, Nick Imudia, has refuted reports suggesting that the Group CEO of D.light International died by suicide. Investigations into the cause of his death are ongoing, and suicide has been ruled out.
Imudia, who was visiting Lagos, Nigeria, from his base in Nairobi, Kenya, was the Group CEO of D.light International.
Contrary to media claims, the family denies that he communicated any instructions to his brother or daughter before his passing.
“The family of Nick Imudia is unhappy with the unprofessional manner the media has wrongly characterised the reporting of Nick Imudia’s death as suicide. This is also supported by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police’s office that has vowed to investigate the sudden death of Nick. Neither did Nick call his brother in America with instructions on how to distribute his wealth, nor placed a call to his daughter with any instructions.
“How come the news was reported so hastilly (less than 3 hours from his death) before his family members even knew about it – and the medical team was still trying to resuscitate him at the hospital! The Imudia family wonders!” they said.
Nick Imudia, known for his vibrant personality, had an accomplished career.
He previously worked with Nokia and later became the CEO of Konga Nigeria. His family requests privacy during this difficult time and urges the media and the public to refrain from spreading unfounded rumors about the circumstances surrounding his death.
