Nick Imudia, former Chief Executive Officer of Konga, one of Nigeria’s leading e-commerce companies, has reportedly died by suicide. Imudia is said to have taken his own life by jumping from the balcony of his apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State on the evening of Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

Prior to his death, Imudia reportedly made a call to his brother, who resides in the United States, providing instructions on how to distribute his wealth.

He also spoke to his young daughter, assuring her that he would always be there for her. Friends, family, and associates of Imudia remain in shock, struggling to understand why he would commit suicide, according to an online post by TheWill.

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.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident on Thursday.
