Herbert Wigwe, the deceased group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, had constructed a private tomb for himself before to his death.
On Friday, February 9, the Eurocopter EC130 carrying Wigwe and six other passengers crashed in Nipton, California, resulting in Wigwe’s death.
The late respectable banker’s family made six-day plans for his funeral rituals alongside his wife and kid over a month after the awful tragedy.
According to a follow-up article published by Vanguard on Saturday, March 2, Wigwe had already constructed a respectable personal mausoleum for himself, “as if he had a premonition of his tomorrow.”
The mausoleum is situated inside the enormous area of his newly established Wigwe International University in Isiokpo, Rivers state.
“The mausoleum is a sight worthy of a billionaire,” the report added.
“A stamped concrete walkway sandwiched by a green lush leads to the ecstatic final resting place of the Wigwes.”
It was gathered that three tombs had been constructed with Italian Carara marble and finished up with a foreign granite galaxy.
The report added further: “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.”
A source was quoted as saying: “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.”
