Many dignitaries, guests, and mourners have begun to arrive at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Isiokpo, Ikwerre Local Government Area, Rivers State, for the funeral service of Dr. Herbert Wigwe, former CEO of Access Bank Plc, and his wife, Doreen, and son, Chizzy.
Olatunji Disu, the state commissioner of police, led security personnel to the location.
Members of the clergy, traditional rulers from Omoeke, Wigwe’s hometown, and monarchs from Isiokpo, in general, have already taken their seats.
