The Lagos State Government has ordered a coroner’s inquest
into the cause of death of late Bimbo, the wife of auto dealer Ikechukwu
Ogbonna a.k.a. IVD.
The Lagos socialite is in the custody of the Police State
Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Panti, Yaba.
IVD’s spouse of about two decades died on October 15, days
after she sustained fire injuries in their residence at Megamound Estate in the
Lekki area.
A statement on Tuesday by Lagos Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo assured of a thorough
investigation.
The Senior Advocate said findings would be made public in
due course and appropriate sanctions meted out to anyone found culpable.
“A coroner’s inquest has immediately been requested, in line
with sections 14 and 15 of the Coroners’ Systems Law, Laws of Lagos State 2015,
to determine the cause and circumstances of death.”
The Commissioner noted that the security and well-being of
citizens were of utmost importance to the government.
Onigbanjo charged the State Domestic and Sexual Violence
Agency (DSVA) to assist the Police and other law enforcement agencies to probe
the case.
DSVA Executive Secretary, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi reiterated
the state’s resolve to ensure perpetrators of sexual and gender-based violence
face the full wrath of the law.
Vivour-Adeniyi urged residents to report cases of domestic
and sexual assault to the DSVA office in Alausa, Ikeja.
