Nairametrics also understands that his wife, son, and former chairman of the NGX Abimbola Ogunbanjo were also on board the flight.
Access Bank confirmed this on Sunday in a statement published on X, following an earlier statement made on Saturday when it was unclear what the status of the passengers on the chopper was.
The bank has now officially confirmed the demise of Dr. Herbert Wigwe, the Founding Group Chief Executive Officer and former Group Managing Director of its flagship subsidiary, Access Bank Plc.
The billionaire investor died alongside his wife and son on Friday, February 9, 2024, in a helicopter accident in the United States of America.
