The news of the tragic helicopter crash involving Herbert Wigwe, the CEO of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, and five others, including his wife, son, and prominent Nigerian figures, on February 9, has sent shockwaves throughout Nigeria.
It has come to light that Nigerian Pastor Dammy Paul had prophesied about the helicopter crash just days before it occurred. His Facebook post, urging people to share the prophecy, has since gained attention in the wake of the accident.
“The Lord showed me a vision. This week, I want us to pray so we don’t lose a very powerful and influential man in Nigeria. I saw that vision overnight and God told me that I should talk to everybody about it.
“I saw something like helicopter crash. That is what I saw. It happens around USA and I saw a very wealthy man. This person is like, he has a bank and he is not from Yoruba. I saw him dark, tall a little bit. Just pray for him. I saw about 4 to 5 people lose their lives,” he shared.
He shared this video on February 12, noting that the earlier video had been pulled down.
Nigerian leaders, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Herbert Wigwe and the other victims.
“Their passing is an overwhelming tragedy that is shocking beyond comprehension,” he wrote. “I pray for the peaceful repose of the departed and ask God Almighty to comfort the multitude of Nigerians who are grieving and the families of the deceased at this deeply agonizing moment.”
The CEO’s contributions to the banking sector and his prominence in Nigerian business circles have left a significant void, and his sudden demise has left the nation mourning.
