An outing service has been held for Herbert Wigwe, his wife, Chizoba, and son, Chizi who were buried in the late businessman’s hometown Omueke, Isiokpo in Rivers State.
The service which was held on Sunday at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lion of Judah Parish, in Isiokpo, comes a day after dignitaries gathered in the oil-rich state for the late Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, his wife, and his son.
On February 9, the trio Herbert, Chizoba, and Chizi Wigwe alongside former Group Chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), Abimbola Ogunbanjo, as well as two pilots, were all in the Airbus Helicopter EC 130B4 with registration number N130CZ, which crashed near Halloran Springs, California. The exact cause of the crash is not yet known, but a preliminary report released by the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) two weeks ago, said the chopper was seen by several witnesses in vehicles who reported it as a “fireball” before its eventual crash.
