Imudia reportedly killed himself by jumping from the balcony of his apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State on the evening of Tuesday, June 25, 2024.
Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command confirmed the incident to local newspaper, PUNCH.
“Yes, it is true. He committed the act on June 25,” Hundeyin said.
Before his death, the businessman reportedly made a call to his United States-based brother to give him instructions on how to distribute his wealth and also called his young daughter to inform her that he would always be there for her.
According to a post on an online platform, TheWill, friends, family and associates of Imudia are still in shock as to why he would commit suicide.
An indigene of the Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, Imudia was previously married to the mother of his young daughter.
