A legal dispute has erupted within the family of the late Herbert Wigwe, former CEO of Access Bank, as his 90-year-old father initiates a court case against his granddaughter over matters relating to the family’s estate. This development comes just a year after Wigwe tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash in the United States alongside his wife, Chizoba, and their eldest son.
The patriarch of the Wigwe family, Pa Shadrach Wigwe, is reportedly challenging certain claims made by his granddaughter regarding the late billionaire’s vast estate. Details of the legal battle remain unclear, but sources close to the family suggest that inheritance and control over key financial assets may be at the heart of the dispute.
Herbert Wigwe, a revered banking mogul and philanthropist, played a pivotal role in expanding Access Bank into one of Africa’s largest financial institutions. His sudden passing sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s business community, and now, the battle over his legacy is set to dominate headlines.
