Shyngle Wigwe, the 90-year-old father of the late Herbert Wigwe, has taken his 26-year-old granddaughter, Otutochi, to court over an inheritance dispute.
This was made known to the public after a court summon where Shyngle Wigwe sued his granddaughter surfaced online.
Recall that Herbert Wigwe, a Nigerian businessman and former CEO of Access Bank, had lost his life in a plane crash alongside his wife and son.
However, in October 2024, several reports online claimed that Shyngle Wigwe’s family had made plans to disinherit his late son’s children from an already made will, a claim they denied.
In a new turn of events, a court summon has emerged disclosing that Shyngle Wigwe is suing his granddaughter over his son’s inheritance.
The court summons, which stated that the dispute revolved around the administration of Herbert Wigwe’s estate identified with the suit number ID/7735, FMP/2024, and was scheduled for the Lagos State Judicial Division, reinforced by a court order on November 18, 2024.
The information has sparked different reactions from online users, with the majority taking to the comment section to share their opinions.
Below are some of the comments;
“Instead of him to be fighting for his spot in heaven. SMH.”
“It has to be his other kids making him do this”
“The position of the law states when a person dies, the children have the primary right to inherit the deceased property. Parents and siblings do not have a right to the property. The only exception is if the deceased specified in a will that part of the estate should be given to the parents or siblings. This is absolutely wrong!!”
