More information has continued to emerge after the demise of former Chief Executive Officer of e-commerce giant, Konga, Nick Imudia, as his maid has revealed their last conversation before news of his death was announced on Thursday, June 27.
Imudia reportedly died by suicide after jumping from the balcony of his apartment in the highbrow Lekki area of Lagos, a story his family disputed.
According to Vanguard, the unnamed maid revealed to her late boss’ close friend that Imudia called her a day earlier and gave her a piece of paper with five telephone numbers, including that of his US-based brother.
She was said to have revealed that her boss instructed her to keep the numbers, which he assured her she would need at the appropriate time.
Thereafter, she said he went into the bathroom and heard the shower running, indicating that he was having a bath.
“She said after some time, she observed that the shower was still running and wondered what he could still be doing for so long. She knocked on the door, but there was no response and she left.
“Moments later, she said the private guard knocked on the door and informed her to come and see what had happened to Nick. She rushed downstairs and found him in a horrible state.
“Immediately, she rushed upstairs and still met the shower on. By the time she opened the door, she discovered there was nobody in there,” Imudia’s friend was quoted as saying.
The Lagos State Police Command spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin revealed that an investigation into Imudia’s death had commenced at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti-Yaba, Lagos.
Daily Sun can report that d.light, the energy company where Imudia was Chief Executive Officer before his death, put out a statement on its website that its Board of Directors has appointed the company co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Nedjip Tozun as interim CEO.
