The murder is believed to have been committed with an electric saw and there is no motive for the murder as at the time of this report.

The victim’s sister called 911 when she found his lifeless bloody in the $2.2 million condo he bought back in 2019.

Asides his Nigerian business, the businessman had a thing for ride-sharing companies; he co-founded Pathao in Bangladesh and recently invested in Colombia’s largest motorcycle ride-sharing company, Picap.

The brutal murder of Saleh, a Bentley University alumnus, has been met with shock and grief by many.

What I'm reading about this Fahim Saleh of Gokada is too shocking to be real. Someone used electric saw to chop off his head and limbs?

Humans are truly wicked.
