Lagos State Government filed a case of manslaughter charge through the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) against the celebrity car dealer, IVD before the High Court of Lagos, Ikeja.
The accusation stems from the death of his wife, Abimbola, who passed away in a fiery event at their home in the State’s Lekki district on the 15th of October, 2022. Another count charge has been added to the original charge. The DPP is charging the auto dealer with involuntary manslaughter, a crime that is against Section 229 of the Lagos Criminal Law.
Ikechukwu has pleaded not guilty to the accusation, and the trial has begun before Justice Modupe Nicole-Clay. It was the late Abimbola who filed a petition against her husband before to her passing, according to DSP Fetuga Olatunji, who was led in testimony by counsel for the Lagos State Government.
