Subsequently, a caveat challenging the late banker’s will surfaced online. It was filed by Christian Chukwuka Wigwe, who claimed to be a cousin of the deceased, on behalf of the deceased’s father, Pastor Shyngle Wigwe.
The filing of the caveat filed at the Probate Registry challenging the distribution of the late banker’s 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Pastor Shyngle Wigwe, to retract their earlier denials, which subsequently turned into statements like “we have withdrawn the suit. Our concern was the welfare of the children.”
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’s Estate, joining the 26-year-old Miss Otutochi Channel Wigwe, late Herbert Wigwe’s daughter, in a suit involving Uche Wigwe and Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede.
However, the court has safeguarded the children from the Wigwe family’s claims by ruling that Pastor Shyngle Wigwe and Christian Chukwuka Wigwe are “not entitled to seek the reliefs” presented before it.
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.
Hmmm,90 years old man sueing the daughter of...
ReplyDeleteHow many years do you... Mk I just reserve my comment mcteeww 😡😡
You don't know how greedy someone people are. Even in old age, they still want more.😩
DeleteNaaah! I can tell you for free that the old man does not know what he's doing. His son probably asked him to sign just to get what he was looking for. The old man does. Not have such memory....
DeleteHnmmm
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I don't know much about all the kids he left behind but as a night crawler, I will tell you that Herbert and wife did a terrible job at raising that girl. She's living a very reckless life going from club to club with her older Les partner and friends, always partying wildd(dddddd with strippers and doing the worst imaginable.
DeleteOh dear .
ReplyDeleteThey should sit down to settle this issues..
This is one thing I like about the Muslim sharia law, once a person dies,they share the properties to all his family members with the kids having the larger part but not all..
Yes Sharon, that is because, in the Qur’an, the sharing formula is clearly stipulated, everybody knows what they are supposed to get, so no room for another person’s opinion. For instance now, i am a female, i already know what portion of my husband’s wealth i will get if he dies, same with him, he knows the portion of what i have that he is entitled to when i die, same wt kids and their parents, siblings and all. That is why u wud hardly ever hear disputes on a muslim deceased person’s estate.
DeleteFor my Christian brothers, i tell them this, since there is no such provisions under ur religious law, make sure u tidy up well, write a will, make it clear and concise, do it in the presence of witnesses. Don’t leave anything to ambiguity, be straight forward, that way when one is no more, even the courts will have no option but to give effect and validity to ur Will.
Mko Abiola was what
DeleteThe owner of the property didn't want to follow sharia law and didn't wa t to leave his sweat to his siblings. He left everything to his children. No matter how old that will is, his choosing not to update it shows he still agreed with it. His siblings should go and work. If Herbert was waiting to inherit a relative, where would he be today?
DeleteAmongst the remaining children of pastor Shyngle, they can raise 200k per child every month to give their parents a comfortable life.
This is just shameful. We igbos need to stop this rubbish of fighting the surviving relative of a deceased person over his/her properties, this is just disgusting abeg. Nawa!
ReplyDeleteVery disgusting behavior indeed among ibos greedy tribe
DeleteThat someone bears an Igbo name does not necessarily mean he or he is Igbo.
DeleteHerbert is from Rivers State.
They're not Ignos! The are Ikweres.
DeleteIkwerres are Igbo people...Forget all these state of origin brouhaha...Most of them originated from Imo state but let me not deviate the conversation....
DeleteVery commonly among Igbos. Though other tribes do it too, sometimes.
DeleteWho says Ikwerre are not Igbo? Yet one of them is now the President General Ohaneze Igbo. One of the many schemes the Gowon era sold to people before the war.
Delete© TEEJAY
Madam Ai (Saint E) and Teejay. I am from Ikwere. We are not Igbo. Call an Ikwere man Igbo and hear his response.
DeleteWe are not Igbo. Yen yen yen
DeleteWhy is your name Emeka.
Chizoba. Otutochi.
Na monkey give una mama belle?
Denying your origin ends in curse,you people should start respecting your gods
I am surprised honestly
ReplyDeleteSame here
DeleteI never expect this from the grandfather
She should take him to court. Imagine the nonsense. Suing a daughter over her own father's assets.
ReplyDeletePastor for that matter and also 90years old? WTF!!!! Sometimes you question Christianity, utter shyte! If this man passes now, will his grandkids be happy with him?.
ReplyDeleteKelvin Dat Edo Boi (Stellz Cousin)
As in ehn, what does he need this money for bikonu 🤷🏿♀️
DeleteI feel her uncles and aunties are behind this because what is a 90 year old business with property. At that age, you are probably even disbursing urs already!!!!
ReplyDeleteIgbo people, try dey commot eye for ur brother properties na.
Exactly, there are just using the grandfather's name.
DeleteBut this is shameful though.
And they told you they are igbo abi?
Delete@eka joy, You just saved me from typing this.
DeleteFamily members isonu 🙄
They are not igbo. They are ikwere
DeleteExcept if they have changed their origin. They are from Ikwere in Rivers State,
DeleteEka is right...Ikwerres are Igbo people...Forget all these state of origin brouhaha...Most of them originated from Imo state but let me not deviate the conversation....
DeleteIkwerre people say they're not Igbo. Why are you forcing them on us? Every tribe originated from somewhere, these people have said it over and over that they're not Igbo. Even if they're from Nri, we don't care. They're not Igbo, simple!
DeletePhoenix, like Ikwere is not the Igbo speaking part of rivers. Like brothers like brothers 🙄
DeleteThank you Eka, na you and a few of us understand this story.
DeleteCastle, thank you oo. People that disassociate themselves from us. Abeg they are not ibos. And even taking the conversation further, is the late embattled singer's father dragging his wife for property and disowned grandson also ibo? You guys still making myopic statements in 2025. Eka, it's just like saying everyone from your place is a winch, are you a winch too?
Delete17:48, just say u don’t know where I’m from and better stop acting like you don’t know that character is most common amongst the igbos and yea, I’m full blooded igbo!
DeleteNa wa o.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess! Parents please leave a will oooo, Fathers especially...people are greedy! Especially relatives!
ReplyDelete12:42,
DeleteDid you read at all? There is a will!
What a shame. SMH
ReplyDeleteIgbo people with dragging property is like rice and beans.
ReplyDeleteEnd time grandpa and pastor 😔😔😔
ReplyDeleteThe young lady should ask for wisdom from above! There is so much wealth to go round! Her grandfather is real family!she is too young, to fight over inheritance! I will never go this route;no matter the wealth! Christ is my inheritance!!!
ReplyDeleteAbeg shift. You leave the trouble makers dey blame the victim
DeleteAnd the 90yrs old grand pa is not too old to be fighting for wealth?? I can assure u, if this case goes to court before the case will come to its logical conclusion, wt the kind of judicial system we have, that grandpa is most probably dead by then.
DeleteShe is young that is the more reason she should fight for inheritance, she has her whole life ahead of her. In fact she has all the time in the world and that is a luxury that the 90 yr old grandpa cannot afford.
Thank God u said you, and it is clearly stated the post is not about you, it is about the wigwes. So wait for ur time and turn, when it reaches if u r given ur share remember to tell ur relatives that u dnt want, Christ is ur inheritance. Inugo?
Delete@ Chichi are you okay? Why are you guys so stupid on this blog!
DeleteWhy can't you just write your opinion and move on! Nobody is victim here! You and the person that approved your comment are overly stupid.
Thank you Chichi for your reply. Left the old grandpa and focused on the young girl. The victim in this case. Lost her parents & brother in one day & now dealing with vultures in the form
DeleteOf family members. I am 100% Igbo. But I know they are coming after her, because she is a girl & the 2 younger ones are adopted. Thus her uncle’s & grandfather feel more entitled to the wealth. If her brother had survived, they would not be fighting this young woman.
Anon 14:24 i approved this comment to tell u thank you for being even more stupid...
Delete@ Stella, you promote toxicity on this blog, because you can be really silly most times! And I will not stop letting the ignorant Nigerians know the truth!
DeleteWhy would someone make a comment on here stating their opinion; and you will enable someone else to come and insult them for no reason! Is that not stupidity? From you promoting toxicity on your own blog! I am not here for useless conversations, as it is ; Nigeria has gone to the dogs; because people promote myopic mentality promoted online!
I am not TJ! I will continue to say what is right on here; so the youths are not misled! I don't belong to that group, that need you ! I don't know you; more than, that I come to your blog; to wind down from my tough analysis! And I will continue to come on here to say it , as it is! So goodluck to you!!!
Commot for there, u made an unwise comment and refused to be corrected. The young girl is clearly the defendant in the case and you still blame her. She is a victim here. What is grandpa of 90 years doing with properties. Moreover the grandpa retired as a director in the Nigerian civil service, why e dey shook eyes for his grandchildren inheritance.
DeleteIf the girls says she wants to squander the money, it is not anyone's business. Her papa made the money, her papa willed it to her. Or you think her father that willed it to her instead of the grandfather is unwise like you?
When you make your own money, will it to your father or mother instead of your children, after all they will take care of your children very well when you die.
You think a father will love his grandkids more than his own children?
Anon the worldwide traveler rest na.
DeleteAnon 13:03, don’t mind them, they are always quick to escalate things. Wealth she can’t finish she wants to hold on to. The problem is that people are greedy and not ready to let others have some.
DeleteO ga o. Including the brother that was obviously not close to him. He even made allusion to that at the guys burial. He too has swwn national cake. May the Lord protect those kids. This is beyond shameful
ReplyDeleteO ga o. Including the brother that was obviously not close to him. He even made allusion to that at the guys burial. He too has swwn national cake. May the Lord protect those kids. This is beyond shameful
ReplyDeleteThis is shameless honestly.
ReplyDeleteShameful you mean?
DeleteIt’s not the father, I believe other family members put him up to it. God help us!
ReplyDeleteThis is an Eye Soar
ReplyDeleteGod Forbid..
Hello iya Boys
Eyesore.
DeleteYou can google words you aren't sure of before typing or even speaking.
Sore
DeleteIs this not embarrassing? Papa Wigwe, don't scatter your family because of properties o...leave a good legacy behind #vanity
ReplyDeleteThey shld allow the lady be , do not deal with her spiritually, let her enjoy her father's wealth in peace. The pains of loosing both parents is there for her to deal with.
ReplyDeleteDeal with who spiritually?
DeleteThis young orphaned girl..
They better not try it.
I want to be peaceful this 2025.
But if I see injustice anywhere, I will act.
This is so disheartening
ReplyDeleteA grandpa!!! This must be a lot to handle, may God grant the children the strength needed.
Na wah ooo
ReplyDeleteWhat does a 90 years old man want again?
Hmmm this is unbelievable. At 90 when you are already at the departure lounge.Oga o
ReplyDeleteNigerians, once you are 18 years old WRITE A WILL and UPDATE it too. Stop being scared, WRITE YOUR WILL.
ReplyDeleteNigerians will say writing a will means you are inviting death. Very ignorant people, including the educated
DeleteThis one shock me o. What does a 90 year old man need such properties for? Someone that is suppose to be resting and being taken care of. Nawa o!
ReplyDeleteNobody took Otutochi to Court. Someone made an application to Court for Tochi to join the suit and the Court gave an order for Otutochi to be joined.
ReplyDeleteThis application could come from any of the parties including Tochi.
You know ignoramus fill this space.
DeleteThey are always quick to accuse and take sides.
DeleteDon't be quick to judge the old man. What if the man is seeing what the granddaughter is not seeing? Do you think the grandpa does not love his late son's kids? The girl is not wise. The people that are named around the girl is the coded enemy of the man when he was alive.
ReplyDeleteBlood relation doesn't equal love
DeleteThank you @13:46! One reasonable person on here.
Delete@13.46 Honestly, thanks for writing this. The court papers are glaringly obvious that Herbert’s parents are trying to safeguard the assets from some third parties not actually Tochi.
DeleteNot true, if Herbert did not trust them enough while he was alive and trusted third party's most. You think Herbert does not know why he did it? The third party's are Herbert's long term friend+close business associate and Hebert's lawyer.
DeleteThat being said, there is no way grandfather will love grandkids more than his own children. The kids are better off without them, not with the way Herbert's other siblings have been fighting in the media.
He has a will, let the will be executed as he wrote. Herbert made the money and wrote the will, you can't tell me it is right for the father to go against the will, no matter what. Even if the children squanders the wealth, e no concern anybody. Na Herbert make money, na him born children, na him still die and wrote his will. So it should be respected and no one should change anything.
AIG hmmmm....
DeleteJust speechless
ReplyDeleteThis is shameful just one year after wigwe, wife and son's demise , they couldn't even wait for their souls to rest in peace . Smh.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you
DeleteThe Baba is a pastor in RCCG o
Is RCCG a church? Taaaaaaa
DeleteThis is a mess
ReplyDeleteLate Herbert Wigwe father, Pastor Shyngle Wigwe don carry people go Court for where e concern late Wigwe property.
ReplyDeleteIf you look well, them no carry Herbert Wigwe daughter go Court. Na Court give order say make them join her for the case.
Na person make this application for Tochi to join. Tochi herself fit make the application.
Court get right to say make them join you for case if the matter fit affect you or concern you.
You get right to take anybody to Court. Na your right.
Grandfather carry grand daughter go court because of her papa properties and money.This is so shameful.
ReplyDelete90 years old? Hmmm
ReplyDeleteGrandpa sues grandchild ?? 😳
ReplyDeleteMamannukusdkblogceleb
This is shameful
ReplyDeleteIf you follow the case and read up everything.
ReplyDeleteMy observations are:
Herbert wrote clearly his will without ambiguity.
His lawyer is his cousin Uche Wigwe and also Herbert has a long term friend and close business partner Aig, whom together they bought access bank. Infact, Aig handed over ceo of access to Herbert. They both co own three huge companies.
This being said, Aig with his influence is standing for his friend and ensuring his will goes as stipulated with his lawyer to administer the will.
Instead, Herbert's father and siblings, wants the lawyer to step down and their father should be included asone of the people to execute the will. This is against Herbert's will.
Also, Herbert's Siblings and father wants to oversee for the wellbeing of Herberts 4 minor children. Only one of her daughters (26 years) is an adult.
However, Aig and his lawyer have secured injunction that the 26 year old should look after her siblings and not the grand father or uncles. Which I think makes sense, considering how greedy the grandfather and uncles have shown themselves to be.
Also, Herbert's father and siblings, even though they were willed something but they think it's not enough and wants the court to also include that the welfare of themselves and those of their respective families sould be taken care from the estate willed to the children. Ofcourse Aig through his influence is making sure this does not go through.
In my own judgement, eventhough aig is human, the children are better of under his supervision than the Wigwe's considering the long standing relationship he had with their father while alive.
I think it is a case of a good friend standing for his deceased friend.
I mean, how else would you have said it. You nailed it.
DeleteThe rich also cry. Grandpa should just leave these little children of his third generation to enjoy what their father left for them. Wigwe sisters lowicked;ked apart from the last girl the older sisters look like pretenders and leeches God forgive me; I would not be surprised if they are the ones pushing Baba
DeleteThank you for saying the truth. Continue resting in the bosom of the Lord, Onyewumbu, Chizoba and Chizi🙏💐🕊️
DeleteEUM Cali
Well Said...AIG than Grandpa
DeleteGod Bless You AIG - Please keep looking put for you friend Herbert.
DeleteHe has passed over and now in another world as no one really died.
Thank you @ AIG from Spirit World.
Greedy lots,always wants to reap where they did not sow
ReplyDeleteAt this rate, the children are not safe
He is not suing his granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteThis Baba is shameless o. Imagine dragging your late son's properties with your grandchild. Is it not bad enough that you buried your child and one of your grandkids instead of them burying you? At 90, how many years do you have left to enjoy the properties you are dragging.
ReplyDeleteShameless family. Cousin too is dragging his late cousin's properties. Tueh!
This is not good at all.
ReplyDeletePlease stop dragging this old man.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the court papers you will see that he is trying to protect his son’s assets from third parties and corporations. It’s for the benefit of the grandchildren.
Gbam!!! Na you get sense pass for here. Not all these people yearning dust!
DeleteThe Family Of Late Wigwe is just hiding under the shadow of the Father. Evil Lots
ReplyDeleteThe worst Enemies to have is HOUSEHOLD ENEMIES cos their stab hurts more than other people’s stab.
Tochi, be Strong and May God give you the Wisdom to Navigate this!!!
SHALOM
How can a grandfather do this to his granddaughter?
ReplyDeleteWhat a shameless old man. Evening they are pushing you are you not supposed to reprimand them??? At 90 yrs fighting for your grand daughter for your son's inheritance.
