The Lagos State Magistrates Court has remanded famous celebrity car dealer Ikechukwu Ogbona, a.k.a IVD, over the death of his wife, Bimbo Ogbonna.
In the verdict by presiding Magistrate Adebayo Kafayat, the decision was made following the advice of the State Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, which indicted Ogbonna for involuntary manslaughter.

The defense counsel, Abubakar Yesufu, prayed the court to release IVD based on earlier bail conditions granted to him. But the Magistrate held that she lacked the jurisdiction in case of involuntary manslaughter. Hence all bail applications should be presented before the high court. She, however, adjourned the case till the 7th of March 2023.
