Former Konga CEO, Nick Imudia, Commits Suicide

This is a sad end for Nick Imudia, a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Konga, one of Nigeria’s e-commerce giants, who reportedly 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, was said to have killed himself on the night of Tuesday, June 25, by jumping from the balcony of his Lekki, Lagos apartment.

Before making the jump, he was said to have called his US-based brother to give him instructions on how to distribute his wealth should anything happen to him.

It was also gathered that he 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.

We were informed that his friends, family and associates are in shock as to why he would commit suicide as no one is sure why he took his own life.

From 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, but he reportedly 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.
