Rest in peace Fahim Saleh.
I’m writing this from a place of pain and loss. You were such an inspiration to me and my team.
Just last week Uzo and I were on a call with Fahim listening to an offer to absorb us into Gokada and a possible buy out. pic.twitter.com/z2nT8Wfnzi— Abraham Ojes (@abrahamojes) July 15, 2020
This last video from Fahim Saleh, CEO of Gokada – Passionate entrepreneur. A young man living the life & full of promise. Who could he have engaged that is so evil to cut him to pieces?
“We have a torso, a head that’s been removed, arms, & legs”. Tragic

Some people decapitated and dismembered the CEO of Gokada, Fahim Saleh with an electric saw inside his own million dollar apartment in New York. This looks like some seriously organized and heartless cartel/mafia style killing.
Whaaaaat?? 🤯🤯

This is sad and a very cruel way to die. Didn’t expect this kind of crime to be committed in NYC.
May his killers be found and justice done. Condolences to his family and associates.— Samuel Otu (@replyOtu) July 15, 2020
Cruel and barbaric
I hope they find the culprits
May his soul rest in peace— CJ Madiba (@mitcalvinmadiba) July 15, 2020
This is terrible, what did he do to deserve such a death? I expect the killers to be brought to book.

The killer is obviously a professional. Carried out the operation oblivious of his environment and surveillance cameras around. From the report, the police have all the footage but can’t even establish a motive yet. The case will drag on for a long while. RIP to him.

Horrible is an understatement sef. This was a crime of passion.
Probably a family, friend or business associate.— mayor 💯 (@Mayorjakes) July 15, 2020
Such a sad story. It will seem he was dealing with some unscrupulous elements and he could not deliver on what was agreed upon. God give his family the strength to bear this loss.
