We tried to rescue Bimbo but failed - Family of Nigerian woman who set herself ablaze

The family of the late Bimbo, wife of Lagos car dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna has released a statement on her sad demise. This follows blame directed at the family for allowing her to stay in the marriage despite the domestic abuse. In a statement to counter the claims on social media, Bimbo's family indicated that several attempts were made to rescue her from the marriage. Read the statement below: The family confirmed the fact that Bimbo truly passed away on October 15 after suffering fatal burns in a fire incident in her Lagos home. The late Bimbo dedicated her life to her husband IVD who eventually cut it short in the most brutal manner. On how they never intervened during her marriage, Bimbo's family said they tried to rescue her several times but never succeeded. The different cases of domestic violence against IVD are well documented and all the late Bimbo wanted was a home where two parents were present for her five children. As the family comes to terms with the terrible loss, they have urged Nigerians to join them in demanding justice for Bimbo even though IVD is currently on the run. They also called on people to join them in prayers for the late Bimbo's soul and for the five young children she left behind. View this post on Instagram
