In a statement provided to reporters on Sunday, the family refuted rumors that Imudia had called his brother and daughter to bid them farewell and left instructions prior to his death, calling these allegations incorrect.
The family denounced the news coverage of the former Konga CEO’s death while they were in the hospital attempting to revive him, according to a statement issued by Dr. Anthony Imudia on their behalf.
The family of Nick Imudia is not thrilled with the unprofessional way the media has incorrectly reported his death as a suicide, according to the statement. The office of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, which has promised to look into Nick’s unexpected death, concurs with this as well. Nick didn’t give his brother in America any instructions on how to split his fortune, and he didn’t give his daughter any instructions either.
“It’s shocking that the medical staff at the hospital was still attempting to revive him when the news was announced so quickly—less than three hours after his passing! The family Imudia is perplexed!
“Nick never displayed any signs of stress, and he was never given a depression diagnosis. The way that the news media rapidly reported and portrayed suicide is questionable.
Imudia’s family claims that he was on a quick visit in Lagos following his trip to the Netherlands and was due to return to Nairobi the following day when he unexpectedly passed away.
“Those who knew Nick in the final hours before his death or who worked closely with him were astonished to see that the media had declared his death to be a “suicide.” Nick was a vibrant and energetic man.
People who knew Nick well are all startled by his death and do not believe it to be a suicide, given his age and accomplishments. In the statement, it was stated that Nick’s family does ask that the public and media respect their right to grieve for their loved one without spreading false information about how he died.
According to a story published on Thursday by PUNCH Online, Imudia, the CEO of D.light International prior to his demise, committed himself at his home in the Lekki neighborhood of Lagos State.
Following the viral nature of media reporting, state Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin verified the event to PUNCH Online on Thursday.
Indeed, it is true, replied Hundeyin. It is said that he carried out the deed on June 25. At the homicide branch of the SCID, Yaba, an investigation has begun.
