Celebrity Lagos-based auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IVD, has begged his family, friends and business partners for forgiveness.
Pleading for forgiveness in an Instagram post on Tuesday, IVD promised to rectify his mistakes.
Reflecting on his life experiences over the last few years, the auto dealer stated that “It’s been 5 years of endless battle.”
While noting that he’s not a perfect being, IVD, who seems to have been abandoned by associates and business partners since the sudden death of his wife and his controversial relationship with the controversial socialite, Blessing CEO, urged anyone he ever hurt through his actions to forgive him.
“To my family, friends and business partners, it’s been 5 years of endless battle, also trying to retract all my mistakes. I pray for God’s mercy and forgiveness. In any way I’ve hurt anyone, I pray for forgiveness.
“I’m only human, am not a perfect person, I have prayed for God’s forgiveness and for him to show me mercy like the Lord said there is time for everything. Time to reflect and time to focus.”
DAILY POST reports that IVD has been under social media attack since the death of his wife, Bimbo Ogbonna, who died from injuries she sustained during a house fire after a fight with IVD at their matrimonial home in October 2022.
However, IVD revealed his relationship with Blessing CEO, soon after. He then claimed that his deceased wife, Bimbo, was publicly violent, one year after her death.
Soon after his affair with Blessing was made public, the latter claimed she had been a family therapist and emotional assistant to IVD, who was accused of Bimbo’s murder before he was finally discharged and acquitted of complicity in 2025.
