Herbert Wigwe’s father, Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, did not slump during the funeral of his late son, The Herald reports.
Some sections of the media, not The Herald had published that the father of the late Chief Executive Officer of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, collapsed during his son’s funeral service at Isiokpo in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers state.
The sections of the media reported that Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, who is in his 80s, was slumped following the shock of his billionaire son, Wigwe; daughter-in-law, Chizoba, and grandson, Chizzy. They died in a helicopter crash in the US on Saturday, March 9.
However, a credible police source who spoke to VANGUARD dismissed the wild news outrightly, saying that Wigwe’s father was “Hale and hearty”.
The source added, “Even the Senate President (Godswill Akpabio) met and prayed for him.
“The story of Pa Wigwe’s collapse is totally false. We should allow the family to mourn its dead and not add to the pain by writing false stories.”
