    A coroner inquest into the cause of death of Bimbo Ogboona, who reportedly died from injuries from a fire will soon commence CASEFILE learnt on Tuesday and this is official.

    Bimbo, a wife of celebrity Lagos auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IVD, alledgedly died of burns sustained during an alleged domestic violence incident at their home in Lekki, Lagos.

    According to Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, thorough investigation would be carried out to ascertain the cause of Bimbo’s death.

    He also said findings of the investigation would be made public in due course and appropriate sanctions meted out to anyone found culpable, the Lagos State Government said.

    Onigbanjo said, “A coroner’s inquest has immediately been requested, in line with Section 14 and 15 of the Coroners’ Systems Law, Laws of Lagos State 2015, to determine the cause and circumstances of death.

    “Section 15(1) and (9) further enjoins the Coroner to hold an inquest whenever he or she is informed that the death of the deceased person was in a violent, unnatural or suspicious situation or believes an inquest is desirable following the report of a reportable death,” he said.

    The attorney-general also charged the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA, to assist the Police and other law enforcement agencies in investigating the case and ascertaining the cause of death of the late Bimbo which had attracted wide media attention.

    The Executive Secretary of DSVA, Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi also reiterated the state government’s resolve to ensure perpetrators of sexual and gender based violence crimes were brought to face the full wrath of the law.
