Controversial auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IVD, has opened up about the emotional pain of being separated from his five children for over three years.
During an appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, IVD revealed that he has been unwillingly separated from his children and has not had any contact with them.
He expressed concern for their well being.
“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,” IVD said.
The father of five claims that his children’s maternal family has effectively cut him off from them.
Despite the challenging situation, the auto dealer said he has found a sense of peace with his new partner, relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, also known as Blessing CEO.
When questioned about allegations of cheating in his new relationship, IVD vehemently denied the claims.
“God forbid. I swear with my life,” he said, asserting his faithfulness.
Recall that IVD’s marriage to his late wife, Bimbo, ended in tragedy when she passed away in a fire incident in their Lekki home in October 2022.
The couple’s 16-year marriage was reportedly marred by domestic violence, with both parties accusing each other of various wrongdoings.
