Domestic Violence: Popular Lagos businessman, IVD’s wife, Bimbo is dead

Bimbo, the wife of popular car dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, better known as IVD, has died. Her sister confirmed her passing on social media some hours ago.

Bimbo was rushed to the hospital sometime this week after suffering severe burns during a violent incident at their residence in Megamound estate, Lekki, Lagos. Sources claimed Bimbo confronted her husband IVD on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, over the constant beatings she received, and a fight ensued.

The fight resulted in their house being set ablaze. IVD was said to have escaped with minor burns while Bimbo suffered severe burns and was rushed to the intensive care unit. Sadly. she lost the battle to live.

Announcing Bimbo’s passing on social media, her sister wrote;

”Bimbo is gone-Bimbo is gone-My sister is gone
The fire is burning me haaaaaaaaa
IVD you killed my only sister
Abimbola IVD KILLED MY SISTER IVD KILLED MY SISTER IVD KILLED MY SISTER IVD KILLED MY SISTER IVD KILLED MY’

In another post, she wrote;

”Abimbolaaaaa, My Bobby, this was never our agreement
Unspoken words you’ve left behind
Undone things we’ll never do together why why why
You have left me heartbroken
Perfect peace has fallen upon your head
A taste of sorrow we have been fed with…….
I will really miss you, if you can hear me pls wake up Bobby
Till we meet again”

Her demise comes after many years of physical abuse she suffered from her husband and the father of her five children.

In May 2019, Bimbo regained consciousness after she was allegedly beaten to a coma by her husband during pregnancy. She was 8 months pregnant at the time.

Then, on October 4, 2020, IVD released a video of him reconciling with his wife days after she released an exposé explaining how she allegedly suffered domestic violence from him for 19 years.
