A bitter dispute is unfolding among the family of the late Dr. Herbert Wigwe, former Group Managing Director of Access Holdings, who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash in the United States on February 9, 2024. Less than a year after his death, allegations of foul play concerning the execution of his will have surfaced, leading to a tumultuous battle over his estate.

Recent reports indicate that Dr. Wigwe’s parents are attempting to disinherit his children by filing a caveat at the Probate Registry to hinder the lawful execution of his will. This legal move, initiated by Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, Herbert’s father, is reportedly motivated by a desire to alter the estate's administration directives outlined by the deceased.

An affidavit submitted by Christian Chukwuka Wigwe, who claims to be Herbert’s cousin, supports the caveat, asserting that a portion of the estate should be diverted from Herbert’s children to his parents and siblings. Specifically, Pastor Wigwe is demanding that 20% of his son’s estate be redirected to him and other family members, despite the fact that Herbert’s will explicitly stated that his wealth should be distributed solely among his children.

Since Herbert’s passing, the Wigwe family has displayed a concerning sense of entitlement rather than the expected mourning that follows a significant loss. While friends and associates from around the world express their condolences, the family's behavior has raised eyebrows. Reports suggest that Herbert’s parents prefer traveling on private jets, citing health concerns if flying first class, further highlighting the discord within the family.

The conflict has revealed longstanding tensions that Herbert’s success had previously masked. A troubling incident involved Pastor Shyngle Wigwe allegedly imprisoning Emeka, one of Herbert’s brothers, at Panti Police Station for three months following a dispute with a sister who allegedly cursed Herbert during a disagreement.

As the dust settles on Herbert Wigwe’s untimely death, it has become clear that the animosity harbored by some family members towards him during his life has now extended to his children. This contentious struggle over his legacy raises questions about the familial bonds that appear to have been irrevocably fractured by jealousy and greed.

In a lot of cultures in Nigeria, it is a taboo for a parent to get involved in his late child's estate. .

Lot of money is involved and fortunately and unfortunately, the wife is also no longer here. Definitely the aging parents had no relationship with the children otherwise it is common sense to take care of their grandparents and ensure their comfort. The rich indeed also cry! Happened during the GTB boss demise too. If you are very wealthy and you want your children to live in peace, consider the family that brought you up! Your success stem from your root either way.
