POPULAR businessman, Ikechukwu Ogbonna aka IVD has lost his wife, Bimbo.
This was announced by her sister in an Instagram post today.
Recall that on Wednesday, October 12, Bimbo and her husband got into a scuffle and she set herself ablaze in the process at their home in Lekki, Lagos.
She was rushed to the hospital while IVD who sustained minor injuries absconded.
She was in the Intensive Care Unit of a Lagos hospital for some days but unfortunately gave up the ghost this morning.
This comes three years after the domestic abuse she’s been suffering was made public.
In May 2019, Bimbo regained consciousness after she was allegedly beaten to coma by her husband during pregnancy.
She was eight 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 suffered domestic violence from him for 19 years.
After that, she returned online at other times to hint at still suffering abuse.
In January 2022, Bimbo declared herself “mentally unstable” and said her life is “being destroyed”.
She also left a short note believed to be directed at her husband.
“I gave you more than I gave myself, so loyal to you that I betrayed myself,” she wrote back in January as she called for people to take her children away before they are destroyed too.
She also added that she entered into her marriage with “good intention” but she has suffered so much in the union.
She said she has “wanted this marriage to end a long time ago”.
