Shocking Confession: Friend of IVD’s Late Wife Reveals Horrifying Ordeal of Fire Attack and Hospital Rejections That Shattered a Family
The tragic and heart-wrenching story of Bimbo, the late wife of popular car seller IK “IVD” Ogbonna, has resurfaced with explosive new details.
Peace Lotus, a close friend of Bimbo, has finally broken her silence and shared a chilling eyewitness account of the horrific day Bimbo was set on fire.
The exclusive revelations expose not only the brutal attack but also the shocking neglect Bimbo faced from four Lagos hospitals that refused to admit her despite her critical condition.

Peace Lotus’s emotional testimony paints a disturbing picture of desperation, betrayal, and systemic failure.
According to Peace, she was with Bimbo on that fateful day when the unthinkable happened. After the fire attack, Bimbo’s body was severely burnt, and rather than receiving immediate medical attention, she was shunned by hospital after hospital.
Peace recounts driving Bimbo from one hospital to another for over nine agonizing hours, pleading with medical staff to save her friend’s life.
The Day Horror Struck: A Friend’s Harrowing Account
Peace Lotus’s narrative begins with the moment she saw Bimbo after the fire attack.
The sight was horrifying — Bimbo’s body was badly incinerated, her skin burnt beyond recognition. Despite her grievous injuries, Bimbo was conscious and pleading for help. Peace took charge, determined to get her friend immediate medical care.

What followed was an ordeal that no one should endure. Peace drove Bimbo to four different hospitals across Lagos, begging for admission.
Each time, they were turned away. The reasons for rejection remain unclear, but the repeated refusals highlight a disturbing pattern of neglect and inefficiency in emergency healthcare services.
Adding to the horror was the behavior of Bimbo’s husband, IK Ogbonna. Peace reveals that while she was desperately trying to save Bimbo’s life, IK allegedly insisted on abandoning his wife.
He reportedly threatened Peace with violence if she continued her efforts to help. All the while, Bimbo was begging her husband to “please say the truth” and pleading with Peace not to leave her to die.
This emotional and traumatic account exposes a deep fracture within a family already shattered by tragedy.
The Aftermath: A Family Torn Apart and Justice Elusive
Bimbo’s injuries proved fatal. Despite Peace’s relentless efforts and the eventual admission to Gbagada Hospital, Bimbo passed away a few days later. Her death left behind five children and a legacy of unanswered questions and pain.
The case was taken to court, with IK Ogbonna facing accusations related to the fire attack. However, he remains innocent until proven guilty. More than a year after the incident, the case is still unresolved, with no clear indication that justice will be served anytime soon.
Peace Lotus expresses deep frustration and sorrow over the slow pace of the legal process. She fears that Bimbo’s story may never receive the closure it desperately needs, leaving her friend’s memory overshadowed by injustice.

Public Outcry and Calls for Reform
The revelations from Peace Lotus have reignited public outrage over the treatment of burn victims and the responsiveness of healthcare facilities in Lagos and Nigeria at large. Many citizens and advocacy groups have condemned the repeated hospital rejections and called for urgent reforms in emergency medical care.
Social media platforms have been flooded with calls for accountability, demanding that hospitals improve their protocols to ensure no patient is turned away in critical condition. The story has also sparked conversations about domestic violence, with many questioning the role of IK Ogbonna and urging thorough investigation.
The Human Side: Remembering Bimbo Beyond the Tragedy
Behind the headlines and legal battles is the story of a woman who was a mother, wife, and friend. Bimbo’s life and struggles have touched many hearts. Peace Lotus’s testimony brings a human face to the tragedy, reminding the public that beyond the sensational news lies a grieving family and a woman who deserved dignity and care.
As the community remembers Bimbo, there is a collective hope that her story will not be forgotten and that it will inspire change — in healthcare, in justice, and in how society protects its most vulnerable.
