Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has visited the parents of the late Herbert Wigwe, the group chief executive officer (GCEO) of Access Holdings Plc.

Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, the former group managing director of Access Bank; Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Group; Atedo Peterside, founder of Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc; and Pat Utomi, chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), were among the prominent Nigerians who also visited the bereaved parents in Abuja on Monday.

Wigwe, alongside his wife, son, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, the former group chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), were involved in a helicopter crash in the United States on Saturday.

There were six passengers onboard, but no survivors have been found so far.







Meanwhile, the United States authorities have said that witness reports suggest it was raining when a copter crashed in California near the Nevada border on Friday, killing Wigwe, his wife, son; as well as a former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, Abimbola Ogunbanjo. Two other crew members died in the tragedy.

“Witness reports to the weather condition at the time of the accident suggest rain and a wintry mix,” said National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) member, Michael Graham, at a briefing on Sunday.
