The housemaid of Nick Imudia, the former Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian e-commerce company Konga, has shared details of their last conversation before his death was reported last week.
According to a close friend of the deceased who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the housemaid said Imudia handed her a piece of paper with five phone numbers, including that of his brother in the United States, the day before his death. Imudia reportedly told her to keep the numbers as she might need them later.
The housemaid recounted that Imudia then went to take a shower. After some time, she noticed the shower was still running and knocked on the door, but received no response. Later, the private guard informed her to check on Imudia. She found him in a distressing state downstairs and discovered the shower still running but the bathroom empty.
Imudia’s family has requested the release of his body for burial and has ruled out suicide as the cause of his death. They stated that he never showed any signs of stress or depression.
Detectives from the Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigative Department in Yaba, Lagos, are investigating the cause of death and were expecting individuals invited for questioning as of 11 a.m. yesterday.
