The
family of Nick Imudia is unhappy with the unprofessional manner the media has
wrongly characterized 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!!!
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.
He
comes from a close-knit family where support abounds and 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
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.
