The family of the late CEO of Access Bank Holdings, Herbert Wigwe has responded to allegations of a raging family dispute over the iconic banker’s estate.
Several online platforms reported on Saturday that Herbert’s father, Shyngle Wigwe, is at the centre of the alleged dispute regarding the distribution of his late son’s estate. Mr Wigwe has reportedly filed a caveat at the probate registry to challenge the proposed distribution.
According to the reports, the caveat was allegedly submitted by Mr Wigwe and backed by an affidavit from Christian Chukwuka Wigwe, who identified himself as Herbert’s cousin.
Moreover, the reports alleged that Mr Wigwe requested 20 per cent of his late son’s estate be allocated to him and other family members, a move the reports stated contradicted Herbert’s will, which stated that his assets should be distributed exclusively among his children.
However, a statement signed by a member of the family, Emeka Wigwe, and made available to Premium Times on Tuesday, refuted the allegations, denying dispute over his late son’s property.
Furthermore, the statement described the reports as entirely “false and grossly misleading’’. It emphasised that the well-being and unity of his family have always been his top priorities.
“To clarify, Pastor Shyngle Wigwe has never sought 20% of the Estate of the late Herbert Wigwe, and no such request has been made by any family member. The claim in these reports that Pastor Shyngle Wigwe intended to disinherit his grandchildren is entirely false and grossly misleading,” the statement stated, adding that, as a devout Christian and loving father, Mr Wigwe “has always prioritised the well-being and unity of his family.”
