Ex-konga CEO, Imudia Did Not Commit Suicide — Family by HeatSeeker(m): 3:46pm On Jul 01
The family of the late former Chief Executive of e-commerce giant, Konga, Nick Imudia has debunked reports that the Group CEO of D.light International committed suicide.

It said that investigations were still ongoing on the cause of his death as suicide had been ruled out.

Refuting news reports that Imudia had called his brother and daughter with instructions before his death, the family, in a statement signed by Dr. Anthony N. Imudia, said reportage of the news of the one-time Konga CEO’s death whilst the family was in the hospital trying to resuscitate him was suspicious.

They said: “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!”

Stating that the former Konga CEO comes from a close-knit family where support abounds, the family added, “Nick never showed any sign of stress and he was not diagnosed as depressed at any point. The thought of suicide in the manner portrayed and hastily reported by the news media is suspect.

“Nick Imudia, until his death was the Group CEO of D.light International with Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, where he was residing. He managed the company’s worldwide operations from Nairobi. Nick was full of life and people that worked closely with him or met him in the last hours prior to the incident surrounding his death were shocked with the media attributing his death to ‘suicide’.

“He was on a short visit to Lagos after a brief trip to the Netherlands and was to return to Nairobi a day after his sudden death. Nick made his initial career mark with Nokia, the Finnish based Telecommunication Company before he was transferred from Helsinki to manage Nokia Asia operations in Singapore.

“Later in his career with Nokia, he was appointed as the Managing Director of Nokia – West and Central Africa. When Microsoft bought Nokia, he opted to leave the company. Looking for a new challenge, he became the CEO of Konga Nigeria where he reengineered the company’s operation.

“At his prime age and the level of his achievements, people who knew Nick well are all shocked and do not accept the characterization of his death as suicide. Members of Nick’s family do request the media and the general public to allow them to grief their loved one without any unfounded rumour of the circumstances surrounding his death.”

This is bad damage control. Nothing to refute the claim other than yes police, yes resuscitation, yes he was not depressed.

Why then did he land in the hospital if efforts were being made to resuscitate him, they made no effort to provide this information but they're so desperate to deny the narrative that he committed suicide undecided

All I know is - There's no smoke without fire!

..In my view, the looming prospect of his journey the next day sent chills down my spine..... He was planning...

We're all just ticking away, waiting for our inevitable end, right? How much longer do you think you have in the spotlight before the curtain falls... Who can predict?

The emergence of Jumia in the online market space and obviously being a stronger competitor was something they weren’t prepared for.
Don’t let your business struggle to keep up with current trends.
This was where consultation with business digital data analytics firm would have been helpful. Let the experts show how to make informed decision for improved revenue.

Even on a non-Political thread?

To you, anyone who doesn't bear Emeka, Eze, Chukwu, Chi.... must have voted Tinubu and so deserve to die.

Guy, don't be insensitive. Life does not revolve around PitObi's failed ambition.

Please learn to show empathy.

Murder was the case.

Homicide not suicide. That was my first thought.

It makes sense to stage the death of such a high profile person....

Instead of funny people here who claim the suicide of a cobbler was staged.

I believe that he committed suicide and the family is hiding it. How else would you explain to me that he jumped down from the balcony of his apartment if not to kill himself.

Many people have died in Nigeria through murder but because we don't carry out proper investigation in Nigeria, the murderer can easily make it look like suicide and the foolish security agencies that are very incompetent will swallow the idea of suicide just like that. Many souls have gone that way without justice being served.

It is more than what we see...don't tell me it is suicide.

I wonder what kind of journalism we have these days that will take bribe to report rubbish in order to clean up evidence and reality...Mohbad death is still fresh in our memory. journalism/media is presently zero in Nigeria
Re: Ex-konga CEO, Imudia Did Not Commit Suicide — Family by othermen: 6:07pm On Jul 01
In most cases, no death benefit payout if the insured commit suicide. Except there is a suicidal death clause.

Now, members of the family are shielded from the potential negative consequences of disclosure. You could see the uninformed comments on this platform the other day: even perhaps more painful than the passing. Not to talk about the social exclusion the children are fated.

It would have been naive if the family had disclosed that he committed suicide.
