    The remains of former Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Dr. Herbert Wigwe; his wife, Doreen Chizoba; and his first son, Chizzy, have been buried in a private tomb inside the Wigwe University, which he built in Isiokpo, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

    The bodies were moved from the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Isiokpo, after a funeral service to the private mausoleum, where they were buried around 2.45 p.m. on Saturday.

    At the graveside, tears flowed freely as the bodies were lowered into the grave.

    Wigwe, alongside his wife, Doreen, and son, Chizzy, died in a helicopter crash in California near the Nevada border, United States of America.

    Also involved in the crash was the Chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc, Abimbola Ogunbanjo.
