Oyindamola Martins, the younger brother of late Bimbo Ogbonna, wife of celebrity auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna better known as IVD, has given vivid details of how his sister got burnt while burning down their house.
Speaking with OAP, Daddy Freeze in an Instagram live session, Oyindamola said after many years of physical, emotional and mental trauma, his sister finally decided to quit her marriage.
She also realised that she had invested her entire life and resources building the home and building up her man and had nothing to fall back on.
On many occasions, IVD would not pay the children’s school fees but spent endless nights in nightclubs or with sex workers.
Just before the tragic death, Oyindamola said that Bimbo’s siblings got together with a plan to rescue her and relocate her to Abuja, a development that she accepted reluctantly.
Realising she could not walk away empty-handed, she undertook to get the documents of their house which her husband locked up in a safe.
She got a welder to break the safe but was stopped by IVD who suddenly returned home unexpected and prevented her from taking the papers. He said Bimbo told him that she had “sacrificed” her life for her husband, and that she made him who he is today and cannot just walk away.
Oyindamola said Bimbo asked her husband to give her the documents of their property in Lagos so she can take possession of the property but he refused. He said Bimbo then vowed to burn the house so that both of them would not have it.
Oyinda added: ”She said since this is the only house we have, let us burn it so the two of us would leave with nothing”
He added that Bimbo poured kerosine on herself and then threatened to burn herself but IVD who was home at the time failed to persuade her not to do so.
He said Bimbo then set fire to their curtain and held on to IVD but he allegedly pushed her into the burning curtain which totally consumed her.
According him, his sister got 100-degree burns.
“As she was lighting up the whole house, she poured kerosine on her body and was like let everything just end. When she did it, she stopped for a while and went round the house. He was not saying anything. He was like ‘if you want to die, die’. ”
Bimbo’s brother said at this point, she set fire to their curtain.
”As the curtain was burning, she now jacked him and was like you will give me this papers today. He pushed her off his body and this got her into the curtain.”
”She suffered from a hundred degree burns. That takes like about of a couple of minutes to get 100 degree burns. When she was on fire, her husband was right in front of her doing nothing.”
Realising her husband was not willing to help quench the fire or douse the flames, Oyinda said Bimbo then ran out by herself and asked for help to be taken to any hospital.
He said she was rejected by 10 different hospitals before they finally found one where she was admitted.
On allegations that Bimbo helped IVD carry out some ritual exercise, Oyindamola said he cannot confirm that but it is something Bimbo could have done because she loved him so much.
According to him, they do not understand how someone can be so insanely in love like her sister was with her husband since she was 19.
He also stated that he cannot confirm if indeed IVD is HIV positive like Bimbo alleged.
