Sources have disclosed that the late Dr. Herbert Wigwe, the esteemed business tycoon and former CEO of Access Holdings, had taken the foresight to erect an impressive private tomb for himself on the grounds of a university.
Following the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Dr. Wigwe, his wife, and son in the United States, arrangements have been made for their final rites. A combined funeral service is scheduled to take place on March 9, 2024, at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo.
Remarkably, Dr. Wigwe seemed to have foreseen his fate, as he had already commissioned the construction of a private mausoleum within the university campus.
Described by Vanguard as a testament to his immense wealth, the mausoleum boasts a grand concrete walkway, enveloped by lush greenery, leading to the serene resting place of the Wigwe family.

Reports detail the meticulous construction, with three tombs crafted from exquisite Italian Carara marble and adorned with imported granite from abroad, creating a truly magnificent final resting place.
“Do not grief, for the joy of the Lord is your strength”, is an inscription embossed on the top corner of the composing mausoleum. The sight of the transparent private cemetery is a clear testament to the fact that Dr. Herbert Wigwe was not just rich while alive, he appears even richer in death.
“He built this private cemetery before he started the university. His house here has been designed to have a special gate and walls separated from the university. I can tell you that he had a big vision.
“Very good vision and he was making efforts to ensure that those visions came to a reality. But what I cannot tell you right now is whether those visions will still be achieved,” one of the sources stated.
