Bimbo, the wife of celebrity car dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna aka IVD Autos, is currently at the hospital fighting for her life after setting her home ablaze.
It was gathered that the incident happened at their mansion in Megamound estate, Lekki, Lagos on Wednesday, October 12. According to their neighbor, the victim had confronted her husband over the constant beatings she receives from him and a fight ensued.
“I woke up to noise of the duo fighting in their house. I saw IVD Autos beating and punching this woman while she was screaming for help. The next thing she did was to use petrol and set their house ablaze. Bimbo quickly jumped into the swimming pool as their luxury cars and apartment were almost razed to the ground. Luckily for them, their two kids were able to bolt out on time.
I quickly called for help and we rushed Bimbo and IVD to the hospital. Unfortunately, she was burnt beyond recognition. This is coming after weeks of her complaints on WhatsApp about what she has been enduring in her marriage.
