The President/Chief Executive Officer of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, and several others visited the parents of the late Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc., Herbert Wigwe, to offer their condolences.

Among those who joined in the condolence visit were political economist Prof Pat Utomi, Chairman of Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, and Founder of Stanbic IBTC and Anap Foundation Atedo Peterside.

During the visit, Governor Abiodun expressed prayers for eternal peace for the departed souls and comfort for the grieving families.

“These sorrowful parents have suffered the loss of their beloved sons, Mr Herbert Wigwe, Mrs Chizoba, and his son Chizi, in a tragic helicopter accident.

“During this solemn visit, we fervently beseech God to grant eternal peace to the departed souls and bring solace to the grieving families they have left behind.”

Herbert Wigwe, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, is currently in the news following his tragic passing in a helicopter crash near the California-Nevada border.

Reports from The Will state that Wigwe, along with his wife, son, and three others, were aboard the helicopter at the time of the accident on Friday night.

The Federal Aviation Administration has verified that the Eurocopter EC130 helicopter crashed around 10 p.m. local time near Nipton, Calif., an unincorporated community approximately 60 miles south of Las Vegas in eastern San Bernardino County.

According to updates from the New York Times, as of Saturday morning, authorities have not located any survivors. Sources have indicated that the US government has confirmed all individuals on board to be deceased.
