Celebrity car dealer IVD threatens to take own life after wife’s death

IVD and wife Bimbo Ogbonna

Auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna aka IVD has threatened to take his own life weeks after his wife Bimbo died in controversial circumstances.

Bimbo died on October 15 in a hospital following a fire incident at her residence in Megamound Estate, Lekki, Lagos.

She and her husband reportedly had a fight before the fire incident. Her family alleges that IVD pushed her into the fire.

The businessman and his wife were married for 16 years and they have five children.

In a post on Instagram Stories, IVD said it has been a month and a week now and he has not seen his children. He said his life was empty without his wife and children.

“Not seen my kids, my girls, for a month and 1 week now. After hours if I don’t speak or hear from (my) kids I’m taking my life, life is empty without my wife and kids. Why am I still living? Guess it’s time to end it all,” he wrote.

IVD’s children are believed to be in the custody of his in-laws.

Although the police have interrogated IVD over his wife’s death no charges have been filed against him in court.
