Dignitaries, guests, and hundreds of mourners have begun to arrive at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Isiokpi, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State—the venue for the funeral service of the former Chief Executive Officer of Access Bank Plc, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, his wife, Doreen, and son, Chizzy.
Among those already present are Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, Senator Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, and former Nigerian Ambassador to Scandinavian Countries, Dr. Godknows Igali, among others.
The state Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, led the security personnel to the venue.
In addition, clergy members, traditional rulers from Omoeke (Wigwe’s hometown), and monarchs from Isiokpo are also in attendance.
Security measures have been significantly increased in Isiokpo and its surroundings.
Family members and friends had previously attended the Christian wake organized in honor of the deceased in the community.
Wigwe, his wife, son, and former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, tragically passed away on February 9, 2024, in a helicopter crash near a border town between California and Nevada, United States.
