Less than a year after the death of the former Group Managing Director of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, his family members are up in arms over his multi-billion naira property.

Business Hallmark learnt that Herbert who passed on alongside his wife, Doreen and son, Chizi on Friday, February 9, 2024, in a helicopter accident in the United States of America left behind a multi billion naira property.

The development has become the talk of the town and so serious it has become that a contentious legal battle is brewing over the execution of Wigwe’s will.

According to a report by the Daily Independent, Herbert Wigwe’s parents have filed a caveat at the Probate Registry, seeking to challenge the distribution of his estate as outlined in his will. The caveat was reportedly filed under the direction of Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, Herbert’s father, and supported by an affidavit from Christian Chukwuka Wigwe, who claims to be Herbert’s cousin.

This legal manoeuvre is directed at altering the directives set forth by the deceased regarding the administration of his estate.

Pastor Shyngle Wigwe allegedly requested that 20% of Herbert’s estate be allotted to him and other family members, a desire that contradicts Herbert’s will, which stipulates that his wealth be distributed solely among his children. The will was lodged at the Ikeja Probate Court prior to Herbert’s untimely passing.

Since the death of Dr. Wigwe, social media has become a battleground for conflicting narratives about family dynamics. Observers note an apparent shift from mourning to entitlement among certain family members, raising questions about their motivations during this period of grief.

Reports also highlight troubling incidents within the family, including the arrest of Emeka Wigwe, one of Herbert’s brothers, at Panti Police Station by their father – Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, following a dispute with another sibling.

This incident reportedly stemmed from a heated argument over family matters.
