UPDATE 2-Gokada app founder died of multiple stab wounds, NY medical examiner says

(Adds comment from Gokada)
By Dan Whitcomb
July 16 (Reuters) - The technology entrepreneur found slain
and dismembered in his luxury Manhattan condominium earlier this
week died of multiple stab wounds to the neck and torso, the New
York City medical examiner said on Thursday.
The body of Fahim Saleh, 33-year-old founder of the popular
motorbike-hailing app Gokada, was discovered in his apartment on
Tuesday afternoon, police say.
Local media reported that his body had been decapitated and
dismembered, the parts placed into separate plastic garbage
bags. A power saw and cleaning supplies were found plugged in
nearby. Security camera video showed Saleh in the apartment
building's elevator with a man in a dark suit, mask and gloves,
the media reports said. Video footage showed the suspect
following Saleh into the seventh-story apartment, where a
struggle began.
Saleh, who was born in Saudi Arabia to Bangladeshi parents
and grew up in New York, founded the Pathao ride company in 2015
and in 2018 the Gokada motorbike hailing app.
Gokada was widely used in the Nigerian megacity of Lagos
until state officials in February banned motorcycle taxis, known
locally as "okada," which dealt a serious blow to the company.
"We at Gokada are shocked and saddened to hear that Fahim
Saleh, our founder and CEO, passed away under tragic
circumstances in New York earlier this week," the company said
in a statement posted to social media on Wednesday.
The New York Times, citing an unnamed law enforcement
official, reported that investigators were trying to determine
if Saleh's grisly murder, which made international headlines,
was related to his business.
"Nigeria is an unforgiving market. Focus obsessively - less
is more. Have integrity. Build trust. Be patient. The market
will reward you in time," Saleh tweeted on July 2.
