Controversial auto dealer IVD says he hasn’t seen his five children in over three years.
He blames his late wife’s family for cutting off communication and taking the kids away.
Controversial Nigerian auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IVD, has revealed that he has been separated from his children since his dispute with his late wife’s family began.
During a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, IVD shared that it has been more than three years since he last saw his five children. He said there has been no communication between him and the kids since the fallout with their maternal family.
Expressing deep concern, IVD said, “They kidnapped my five kids. I’ve not seen them till now. It’s been over three years now. I’ve not seen my kids. I don’t even know how they are doing. I do not talk to them on the phone.” He claimed that his late wife’s family has completely shut him out of his children’s lives.
Despite the emotional pain, IVD mentioned that he is trying to move forward with his life. He said he now has peace with his current partner, relationship coach Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO.
When asked about rumours that he has been unfaithful in his new relationship, IVD strongly denied the claims, saying:“God forbid. I swear with my life.”
It will be recalled that IVD’s marriage to his late wife, Bimbo, ended in tragedy when she died in a fire incident at their Lekki residence in October 2022. Their 16-year marriage was reportedly filled with conflict, and both sides had accused each other of abuse and other serious issues.
