Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, the 90-year-old father of Late Herbert Wigwe, is in court over his grandchildren’s guardianship and management of properties belonging to the late former Group Managing Director and CEO of Access Bank.<\/p>\n
The legal war over the estate of the late Wigwe has moved to the Court of Appeal following the Lagos State High Court\u2019s dismissal of an application for interim reliefs.<\/p>\n
In October last year, reports surfaced that Pastor Shyngle Wigwe\u2019s family had a concealed interest in the late banker\u2019s children\u2019s inheritance and allegedly attempted to disinherit them by altering Herbert Wigwe\u2019s will. However, the family strongly denied these claims.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, a caveat challenging the late banker\u2019s will surfaced online. It was filed by Christian Chukwuka Wigwe, who claimed to be a cousin of the deceased, on behalf of the deceased\u2019s father, Pastor Shyngle Wigwe.<\/p>\n
The filing of the caveat filed at the Probate Registry challenging the distribution of the late banker\u2019s Estate as contained in his will forced the family, especially its patriarch, Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, to retract their earlier denials, which subsequently turned into statements like \u201cwe have withdrawn the suit. Our concern was the welfare of the children.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the court ruling reported by the media today showed that the family lied about withdrawing the suit challenging the distribution of the late banker\u2019s Estate, joining the 26-year-old Miss Otutochi Channel Wigwe, late Herbert Wigwe\u2019s daughter, in a suit involving Uche Wigwe and Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede.<\/p>\n
However, the court has safeguarded the children from the Wigwe family\u2019s claims by ruling that Pastor Shyngle Wigwe and Christian Chukwuka Wigwe are \u201cnot entitled to seek the reliefs\u201d presented before it.<\/p>\n
Herbert Wigwe was among six people who lost their lives on February 9, 2024, when the Eurocopter EC130 they were traveling in crashed near Nipton, California. The tragic incident also claimed the lives of his wife, Doreen Chizoba Wigwe, his 29-year-old son, Chizi Wigwe, former Nigerian Exchange Group Plc Chairman, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, and two crew members.<\/p>\n
