Decapitated, dismembered body of tech CEO found in NYC apartment, sources say

The body of a decapitated, dismembered tech CEO was found inside a Lower East Side apartment on Tuesday afternoon — sorted in plastic bags right next to a power saw, sources told The Post.

Police came upon the grisly scene shortly after 3:30 p.m., after a cousin of the dead man requested a welfare check at the man’s East Houston Street building and called police, the sources said.

An electric saw was found near the body, which was described as that of a 33-year-old man. The victim’s arms and legs below the knees were removed, and body parts were found in plastic bags found in the apartment, the sources said.

Police sources believe the victim was Fahim Saleh, a venture capitalist and CEO of the Nigeria-based motorbike startup Gokada.

Saleh is listed as the owner of the apartment, which he purchased last year for $2.25 million, records show.

“This is ugly,” one cop at the scene said.

No. I’m surprised he didn’t have security. Maybe $150 million isn’t enough to afford it.

Do you mean like personal bodyguard security? He might have felt safe in his apartment building. I wonder what excuse the killer gave to gain entry.

Not really motorbikes, but an app. An Uber like company called Gokada in Nigeria. You hail a motorbike instead of a car.

I don’t think the Nigerians work with the Mexican cartels. Organized crime (Italian Mafia version) is probably behind this. He po’d somebody, didn’t pay something (after having received the horse head in his bed or the dead cat on his doormat, probably) and they collected.

Interesting that the security people who supposedly monitor the screens saw nothing... Just like the Jeffrey Epstein case.

I’ll take “Homo lover spat” for 200, Alex.


That would be my first guess, too. But the Nigeria business connection bares investigation.

And motion detection software generates so many false positives as to be almost useless, especially on outdoor cameras.

One of my hats is building security, so I have 80 feeds into my office on 4 monitors. I don't watch it, no one does. They record 24/7 because motion detection is so horrendous. I've got 76TB of disks recording.

I also have systems at both my homes.

Just because I am not normally at my Florida Home, I installed a NEST Hello(I also have 6 other traditional cams on an NVR). The NEST constantly uploads to google and I assume a supercomputer watchdog looks at it. It gets the motion right, every single time. It detects people correctly and ignores trees, bugs, squirrels, etc. It is pretty amazing and did not require me spending hours masking out motion space and tweaking sensitivity.

I would guess near every country in the world has a local version or two of the uber app these days.

My great MD is from Nigeria, so glad he and his wife got out. They have a lovely family, live in a great neighborhood. Pay taxes, sending their kids to college.

Anecdotally Nigerians are among our most successful immigrants.

Data show Nigerians the most educated in the U.S.

Yes. May be mostly on paper, still he’d be a target.
