The charges against him has been upgraded to “ATTEMPTED MURDER,” from the previous “grievous bodily harm.” Edobor, who was married to Ivie for 9 years, has left her handicapped and with the sole responsibility of raising their three daughters ALONE
Narrating her ordeal, Ivie said she was with her friend in front of her residence in Surulere, Lagos, when she was accosted by Edobor, who came with some touts.
She said she initially thought the men in the company of her estranged husband were robbers until she saw that they were being led by him and Before they could react, a group of area boys attacked them. .
''They held my friend down on the floor, giving John the opportunity to focus his attack on me. He tried to hit me on the head with a metal bar, but I shielded myself. I landed on the floor with my legs extended where he proceeded to hit me on the legs continuously with the metal.
“The injury was so severe that my broken bone tore through my skin puncturing an artery in the process. Almost three months and two surgeries later, I have titanium plates and screws to keep my leg in place, and I am unable to use my right leg,” she disclosed. .
Ivie alleged that she was thrown out of her matrimonial home, following the collapse of her business and her inability to give Edobor a son. She added that Edobor immediately started an affair with another woman and started flaunting it on social media.
John is said to have removed his daughters as beneficiaries of his medical insurance package and requested that they be taken to his village to continue their education.

DeleteZenith bank are always in the news for bad things

DeleteSerious jazz at work. Certainly not his clear eyes.
DeleteWhat jazz?
DeletePls let's stop giving excuses for domestic violence.
He is supposed to be in jail
What jazz?
DeletePls let's stop giving excuses for domestic violence.
He is supposed to be in jail
I read this story yesterday and i almost cried...
DeleteThe man is wicked!
They separated 2years ago yet he won't let her be! Despite spiting her with the pictures of his new found love... Sigh!
God pls get justice for Ivie.
Good idea annonymous 8.28
DeleteCynhams cakes, surely you must be smarter than this. A man has been unfaithful, wicked and irresponsible yet you absolve him of all responsibility and blame it on jazz?! Continue!
DeleteWickedness..
DeleteChai chai...am dumbfounded... Warisdis..this supposedly educated man is not aware that the sex of a baby is determined by him...
DeleteBefore he goes to jail,his both legs should be sawed. Mschew
Delete#Boycott ur damn cake #DumbAss
DeleteWhat stupid jazz? ease don't get me even more upset. Stop making excuses for monsters
DeleteDevilish man.
ReplyDeleteIt is time to face the consequences of your evil and indiscretion.
DeleteI am sure Zenith bank would have done the needful by suspending his evil ass.
This is the height of wickedness, beast.
Wicked man.
DeleteWicked man.
DeleteThe heart of man is Wicked
ReplyDeleteChaii...God...honestly d devil needs to take some lessons from these men ooh..Cos their own level of wickedness is simply out of dis world..
DeleteHmmmmmmmmm. Goes back to sleep
ReplyDeleteWhat a horseband! He will surely be caught up with soonest. Smh
DeleteThere re really animals in human form. What the hell beat up his wife to that extend. pls the necessary authority should plz do something about this very fast,
ReplyDeleteThe Man should be punished ,this is an attempted murdered,what if she had died.take a look at ronke,the lady her husband killed,we still have not heard anything about the case,if such men are not punished,it will encourage others to do so and even more.
ReplyDelete"Attempted murdered" biko have mercy on English, forgive her no matter what she must have done. Pls, God bless you. Chai
DeleteIsn't there a male in her family?
ReplyDeleteNo brother(s)?
If the authorities won't do the needful then her family should see to it as well that he's rendered immobile.
I mean they should get touts to beat him to stupor as well.
This is simply a case of an eye for an eye.
Even if arrested,he'd be granted bail or probably bribe his way through and the whole case would be squashed.
The lady might not be able to walk properly again and it is only fair same is done to the man
They don't even need touts.. That was how one was beating my female cousin ooh, in fact my brothers and my male cousins came over and gave him a serious beating.. from that day till now, over 6 years, we never hear any complain about beating or black eye.. Some men are just devils.. mtchew.
DeleteMy dear,same question I asked when I read the poster.
Deletenigeria is a lawless country, if she sends touts now they will say she sent people to kll him, just like the other woman that is a banker. Women are really suffering in the hands of men, haba.
DeleteSurely surely, Nemesis will one day meet His Excellency, Mr Johnleg Edobreaker..... Old age does not come in just one day.
ReplyDeleteGross wickedness. The judiciary had better intervene.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe this woman is telling d whole truth. Ur dh can't just throw u out bcoz of male child. I believe she was rude and disrespectful to him in the marriage. I know of a neighbor that had a child after 17 years of marriage and they never exchange words any day.
ReplyDeleteYour stupidity is exponentially raised to infinity.
DeleteYou are very stupid human being,that's how you'll incur the wrath of God upon your miserable self just because you choose become an Internet troll.
DeleteIf you don't believe her, then jump and pass.. I believe her. You haven't met some men that are devils. Some men can do the unthinkable because of a male child.
DeleteYou said rude and disrespectful?? Really? Where you there? Can you also say the man wasn't being disrespectful or rude to her too? The truth is nothing can justify this type of violence..
What kind of talk is dis? So cos she's rude u hve to break her legs? Re u thinking at all?
DeleteYou're a very big fool, idiot so weda thrown out or not... so being rude is enuf to damage a woman's leg? if u don't have any thing to say it's best you shut dat trap u call a mouth. Brainless peace maker
DeleteIf you're a guy may ur sister go threw the same in a mans house and if you're a woman you will suffer same fate. Foolish human being wit no sense
DeleteOkay she was rude and he threw her out fine! You forgot about the part he broke her legs with rude and what was her offense again? Idiot!
DeleteJust hear urself! Your brain needs surgery, it should probably be replaced with a chicken brain cos you're sensless
DeleteSo she deserve the broken legs is that where you're driving at? You're an animal for that statement. Ewu
DeleteU HV come again with ur one sided judgement.. Mtcheww
DeleteCan you pls take a minute to read and digest the nonesense you just spewed. So just maybe the woman was disrespectful. Does she deserve a broke leg in return?
DeleteI feel like pulling ur brains(that's if u have any)...i'm so sure i'll find the brains of a goat.
DeleteHmm, I follow sit ontop your comment. What kind of friend was she out with and I'm sure the friend is a man and the reason he was pinned to the floor might be because he is probably having an affair with the woman but the horseband went to far. If any woman treat you bad, please let her be, the world can only judge from your action as a man. In every issues like this, you don't judge until you hear from the other person(man/woman). No matter how painful , the man shouldn't av gone that far. Let him face the law and the let the law serve both of them justice with their actions. Iya silifa go hold baba silifa shirt in the morning, tear him boxer, tear him shirt, grab his balls abeg wetin baba silifa go do? Stella we can cry for justice today but at the end of the day we both realize the woman had pushed him to the wall, I'm not supporting his wicked action but we both know how some women, I repeat some women behaves. I pray they both come to their senses and realize devil is really tearing a lot of Homes today, he needs recruits for his kingdom and the only tactics he has , is to destroy homes through infidelity, fighting, divorce and separation atleast they will both leave each other to share their body with someone else and let's be careful, for the devil is at work in every home. God bless us all
DeleteIs that why he should break her legs?
DeletePls just shut the hell up because you are very insensitive to most issues. Gosh
DeleteAre u really okay. Abi u need psychiatric evaluation ? Can u read ur comments loudly to yourself ?
DeleteYour level of ignorance is astounding!!!!
DeleteListen and listen carefully. All men are not the same. Is your neighbour's name John? Are you in all honesty saying that you have never heard of any woman and her female children being thrown out just bcos she has not given the husband a son???
I can see you are the sort that blames women for everything. Please stop it!!!!!
No matter how rude or disrespectful she was, nobody deserves to have their legs broken by one useless animal. The day one man raise his hand to beat me that is the day I will poison him. Useless men with large ego..
DeleteSeriously. Can u be any dumber? Na wa so she deserved her legs broken cos she was rude. Am amazed at the level of your stupidity ,Do u reason at all. You have mind of of toddler , even toddlers no dey yarn trash. And to think you are a man and one day you'll have kids . What advise will u give?
DeleteI have said it times without number that your brain is filled with air,anu umpama
DeleteGuy, are you normal at all ? You must be crazy with what you wrote up there.
DeleteOmg! You must be outta your mind.
This is one of the enablers we talk about, so if she was rude and disrespectful he should kill her?!? Your stupidity is astounding
DeleteAnon 8.27 and so what if the friend is a male she was having an affair with? Did you even read the story at all? She had been thrown out of the idiot's house and he had remarried! So what right did he have to stalk her to her own house and ambush and almost kill her??? What is his business with her life and who she is out with?? Doesn't she have a right to move on after he had rejected her and abused her??? Gosh that you can open your mouth to even begin to justify this barbarian shows the kind of person you are!
DeleteJesus!!!
ReplyDeleteSome people are really animals ooh
What is this?
See me cringing as i read and see these disturbing pictures..
Do ppl like this exist? Animals....
No feeling whatsoever...
You freely inflict harm on another human without a conscience
Help me O God may our paths and that of our family and friends never cross with this type of animals.
He doesn't even deserve to live amongst humans
Am so pissed
Ewwwww....
Honestly. They are no better than Isis...useless animals
DeleteYeah read this story on Fin*facebook* sometime ago, thank God for this improvement, very sad story.
ReplyDeleteLet Zenith bank manager drive that man, what kind of thing is that?
ReplyDeleteYour mentality sha
DeleteThe state govt might even lose d case cox he could hv used d iron bar on her head if he wanted her dead.
ReplyDeleteHe tried but she shielded herself
DeleteHorseband from hell!
ReplyDeleteBeast in human form. Was it her fault that she couldn't have a son for you. Useless mofo. And the new wife will be filling ontop of the world. I pity her. Na wa, this generation of men, hmmmm
ReplyDeleteThe man must be daft. He is responsible for the gender of his kids, so it is actually his fault.
DeleteHallo

DeleteWe men should seek justice too, we are all quick to codemn men for every actions taken but somewhere in the world there are women that commit murders too, cheat on their husband. Ive read on this blog where some women find joy in sleeping around and cheating on their husband. You are right there in your husband's house and all you can say Is U better leave his house, U better run for your life but you dey manage your own situation for house with Ur stubborn husband and the stupid she will be busy causing trouble through Ur advice.
DeleteNot everything is a joke you know,if you're making insensitive comments to draw attention to yourself then that's highly foolish.
DeleteWaka pass if u have nothing meaningful to say.
DeleteNo, darling, there is no justification for his actions. You even have to be a bit unhinged to carried out such a dastardly act on a person, worse of all the mother of your children.
Delete@peace maker... pls shut da f**k up! Are u insane or what?? Even if she was rude or disrespectful, is that enough reason for d idiot bully to attack n inflict just harm on her? Pls carry ur crase go front or shut up. Ds is very annoying.
DeleteThis peace maker the person wey "do " you don die. But what did she say? So what is bad enough to wareanr being killed? You are a superior mumu
DeleteThis man is a demon nothing more,how could he do this to his wifea nd why is he still walking free?he should be arrested nd jailed for life.i don't know why some men are just plain monsters,no matter what transpired between them it shouldn't have done to this.i trust Zenith bank,the man will be sacked
ReplyDeleteOMG!
ReplyDeleteEnd time monster.
ReplyDeleteJames better keep qwayet before i land you e slap. Negodu nonsense!
How sad! Why throw her out cos of her inability to av a son for u, na wetin u Edobor deposite dere she give u as daughters&whats bad wt daughters? U would pay dearly for what u ve done to dis woman, Real men don't hit women&u re nt one *singing*#Justice4Ivie#Justice4Ivie!
ReplyDeleteThis man need to be shot at point blank. Where are the relatives of this woman ?
ReplyDeleteLagos state over to you.
This man should be kept under lock and key somewhere if he's still alive.
This bitch called Stella has already assumed he is guilty and the woman's side of the story is 100% of what happened.
ReplyDeleteStupid blogger.
Ordinary blogger!
See mad person oo!!! No matter what he has no right to do that to the woman. You don made finish.
DeleteAnonymous07:37
DeleteU are the stupid one here.
So we should applaud the man for what he did?
He is guilty as far as domestic violence is involved.
Stella we know pls who are you??? Ozu nwuru anwu, Abi u re the side chick that wants to take over another woman's house??? Idiot
DeleteDid he break her legs? Yes. That's all we need to know

Let him be given a life imprisonment, human activists please come to her aid, good lawyers oya o!

He's a murderer 😠😬
But why is he still working around freely, can he not be arrested? Why has he not been arrested, what is the police waiting for? Does this woman not have siblings that can deal with this fool decisively.
ReplyDeleteStella am not sure Zenith bank has any right to sack him for domestic violence, i don't know, am just saying. This matter tire me.
Simply because he's "working" in the bank
DeleteWicked man.
ReplyDeleteYou threw her out e no reach you, why did you go looking for her again. Obviously he didn't like the fact that she wasn't always moody or constantly in tears or pain
ReplyDeleteIf u dont have sth meaningful to say just stfu
ReplyDeleteJesus.i am beyond shock.He should be behind bars not banking hall.i pity his would be baby Mama.this is height of wickedness ...
ReplyDeleteJesus.i am beyond shock.He should be behind bars not banking hall.i pity his would be baby Mama.this is height of wickedness ...
ReplyDeleteStella there is nothing like justice in Nigeria especially if you don't know anybody. I pray Ivie get justice through this blog
ReplyDeleteWickedness
ReplyDeletePeace maker may your daughters be treated this way. May you never have a peaceful home. Women have been trained from birth to take shut from men. Mothers should teach their girls self worth Biko.
ReplyDeleteOgo, why would u wish for his innocent daughters to be treated this way? What have they done? Take out ur anger on the perpetrator & leave innocent kids out of it. Do u know if someone cursed this woman too just like u just did, because of her parent's crime? Would that sound fair to you? I'm pretty sure u call urself a Christian. Smh....
DeleteThis man must not go free!
ReplyDeleteI read DV cases everyday but this is just the height of this whole nonsense !
D man needs better beating, why will you do that? D story is nt fully said but why will u wanna break or kill someone.
ReplyDeleteThis man is wicked and he should be dealt with severely
ReplyDeleteShe could hv escaped all this pain if she wasn't trying to prove tough. I hope all d women that say they can never beg their hubby r reading this
ReplyDeletePls read well before u comment rubbish ..how was she proving tough here.
DeletePls STFU, find something to do with your life rather than writing trash.
DeleteI am now convinced you need psychiatric evaluation, pele
DeleteReally Sad incident as I know both parties. John used to be my Manager at Apapa and Ivie is elder sister to my twin friends right from Unilag.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble started as Ivie gave birth to girls and John wanted a boy.
I still can't believe this as John was always helping his wife Ivie sell her stuffs in the office.
Ivie must have loved her husband so much bcos she did not want to press charges when the incident happened claiming that's the father of her children.
@ SDK, I will place a call through to find out the update and send you an email.
May we never be victims of domestic violence as you will never know the extent to which your partner can be used by the devil to cause damages or death. It is well. Pray for Ivie's soonest recovery.
Hmmmmmmm,some men treat their wives like animals
ReplyDeleteNo stella he is no longer walking freely immediately his case was upgraded he was sent to kirikiri for relaxation, the painful part was that the foolish woman he was cheating with disappeared like air. Thank God ivie is alive
ReplyDeleteStella you need to read and see the pictures of this woman on a Facebook page Female in Nigeria (FIN). She is now using walking stick and had to sit at intervals in a wheelchair when they appeared in court. It was so terrible to look at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am calling on the agencies against violence against women to take this matter up and ensure she gets justice.
Mrs Chukwuma, Dr. Princess Kayode, Joe Odumakin etc. Please help
The man is a disgrace to his parent's effort.
ReplyDeleteIs it a woman dat determines the sex of a child?
A fine n Educated man for that matter.
Wicked man, he just had to disfigure her so she wont get a chance with some1 else.
A Very irresponsible individual.
Mrs Ivie what did yu do to warrant such brutality?... Stella if Zenith bank sack the Man yu go give am Job??
ReplyDeleteYou are really living ur name @ Paul.
DeleteI wonder if people think before they type, mr Paul or whatever u are really a bad person, if it was done to a family member u will come out to cry like a dog.
DeleteYou are a narrow minded human being. I won't say more than that.
DeleteGoat.
I want them to sack him
DeleteStellz, I doubt he is still "walking free" in the real sense of the word. If the charges have been "upgraded" to attempted murder, that is still a bailable offence. What we should find out is if he has been arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction. If he has and he is not in prison custody, it means he has perfected his bail terms. If that is the case, though he may be seen as walking free, he does so with criminal charges hanging over him like the sword of Damocles.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the Zenith Bank policy on staff facing criminal charges, perhaps he will only lose his job if he gets convicted after the trial? I have no idea. Our adversarial criminal system allows an accused person "walk freely" until he has been found guilty and convicted by the court of law and not the court of public opinion, provided he's out on bail.
I totally understand your sentiments, I share some of them as well but since legal actions are already in motion, we have to sit tight and watch as events unfold. Hopefully, he will be adequately punished for his actions. No matter a person's offence, no human or even animal, deserves such cruelty! Broken bones at her age? She isn't exactly a spring chicken, obviously he has condemned her to a fate of never having the ability to walk, unaided, save for a miracle. That, of course, is judging by the facts as narrated on this post.
The most heartrending part of this story is, in spite of the gruelling pains his estranged wife has to endure due to her injuries, the people who will suffer most are the kids. It's one thing to try to find your bearings after your parents split, but imagine the horror of knowing your father almost killed your mother and the botched attempt will most likely leave her disabled for life! This is the most tragic aspect of it all.
God have mercy
ReplyDelete#If you're constantly having to wonder where you stand with someone, maybe its time to stop standing and start walking*
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy,to think that the heartless man is educated and could do such thing to the wife he ones loved so much, how on earth did he allow himself to be that bitter oh my God! The sight of that leg alone is something else.I pray and hope that they take legal actions against that Demon.
ReplyDeleteJesus..why are some people so wicked,why?why?
ReplyDeletesome things are best imagined than read
ReplyDeleteNa wa for this man.
ReplyDeleteNa wa for that man
ReplyDeleteHe is monster, a beast.
ReplyDeleteHe did that to the mother of his children. He wanted to send her to early grave.
What is happening to our men, why are they giving the devil rooms to operate and use them?
This is so bad my stomach hurt seeing those photos.
I pray God heal and strengthens her bones.
Lord have mercy
ReplyDeleteThere are some women here in abusive marriages but they will not leave now until they are killed or almost killed. I trust what Zenith Bank will do to him for tarnishing their image like this.
ReplyDeleteSome people are very heartless!
ReplyDeleteThat is why mothers should raise their sons properly. Teach them from day one what it takes to be real men. Let them know real men are those who are wise, compassionate, respectful, kind and calm. Teach them to know that real men respect women. Real men revere women. Real men protect women. Let them know that real men are peace lovers, they are matured thinkers and most of all, God lovers. If my son did this to his ex wife, na me go show am say him sef na woman born am.
ReplyDeleteYes o, we must teach our sons to be responsible.
ReplyDeleteYou sent your wife packaging and she left in peace, you are not not satisfy you want her life.
You are not a man
