Alleged domestic violence: Popular Lagos businessman, IVD’s wife, Bimbo is dead

Bimbo, the wife of well-known car dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, also known as IVD, has passed away. Her sister announced her passing a few hours ago on social media.

Bimbo was taken to the hospital this week after being injured badly in a violent incident at their home in Lagos’ Megamound Estate. According to sources, Bimbo confronted her husband IVD about the ongoing beatings she was receiving on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, and a fight ensued.

Their home was burned down as a result of the altercation. Bimbo allegedly suffered severe burns and had to be rushed to the intensive care unit, while IVD allegedly managed to escape with only minor injuries. She sadly lost the fight to survive.

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.
