The tech CEO found decapitated in his New York City apartment issued a passionate defense of his fledgling company just months before his grisly murder.
Fahim Saleh posted a YouTube clip in early February vowing to stand by his motorcycle ride-hailing app, Gokada, as it faced a crackdown from officials in its home base of Nigeria.
