The troubled marriage of popular Lagos businessman, Ikechukwu and his wife Bimbo Ogbonna has ended in the tragic death of the latter.
A review of the videos made by Ikechukwu shows series of violent domestic squabbles with family members not helping.
Bimbo’s death was announced by her sister in an Instagram post on Saturday, October 15, 2022.
The couple made headlines earlier this week when Bimbo and her husband got into a scuffle and she reportedly set herself ablaze in the process at their home in Lekki, Lagos.
She was rushed to the hospital while her husband who sustained minor injuries absconded.
Bimbo was at the Intensive Care Unit of a Lagos hospital for some days but unfortunately gave up the ghost on Saturday morning.
News making the rounds online alleged that Bimbo has been suffering domestic violence from her husband for the better part of their marriage.
On his pat, her husband, Ikechukwu maintained that he is indeed the victim:
Her sister who announced her demise wrote: “My hands are shaking Bimbo is gone. Bimbo is gone- My sister is gone. The fire is burning me Haaaaaaa. IVD you killed my only sister. Abimbola IVD killed my sister, IVD killed my sister, IVD killed my sister”.
This sad news generated reactions from many Nigerian celebrities who seemed to know the deceased.

This one hurt me cos I followed this woman! She showed all signs of instability, hurt and betrayal! Anger is bad! She allowed those anger consume her! God please! Have mercy”
mo_bimpe: “This really hurts”
@biolabayo1: “Did I just read that she set herself ablaze? Oh my God! I’m shaking writing this I wish she had left the marriage long before now”
@bestdressednigerians: “The church and other religious leaders need to stop preaching so much against DIVORCE, it’s a better option than death”
@tutugel: “Your sister set herself ablaze and died as a result. Why did she do this to her children? I just can’t stop wondering what her thought process was when she entered that argument with her husband. Was the best way to get back at your husband setting yourself ablaze? Will a man that beats you to a stupor suddenly show concern because you set yourself ablaze? Women, let’s learn to do better, please.”
@diiadem: “This thing called marriage !!!!! Leave while you still can !!! I lost my cousin two weeks ago due to domestic violence !!! Leave for the sake of your child/children leave please”
ileadwithkindness: “Leave to live”
