A court summons has revealed that Shyngle Wigwe, the 90-year-old father of late billionaire banker, Herbert Wigwe, is suing his 26-year-old granddaughter, Otutochi Wigwe, over an inheritance dispute.
The dispute centers around the administration of Herbert Wigwe’s estate, with the court summons bearing the suit number ID/7735, FMP/2024.
The Lagos State Judicial Division reinforced the summons with a court order on November 18, 2024.
Christian Chukwuka Wigwe, who claims to be a cousin of the late billionaire, is also involved in the dispute.
This development follows earlier reports of a dispute over Herbert Wigwe’s estate, which the family had denied. The family stated that they were not contesting the will, but the court summons reveals otherwise.
The family’s recent actions have sparked online reactions, with many expressing concern for the welfare of Herbert Wigwe’s children.
Chukwuka Wigwe had approached the courts asking that an administrator be appointed to head Herbert Wigwe’s estate.
The defendants in the case are Uche Wigwe, Aigboje AIG Imoukhiede, and Miss Otutochi Channel Wigwe who is Herbert Wigwe’s 26-year-old daughter.
An estate administrator is a person appointed by the court to manage the estate of a deceased person who didn’t leave a will or if there is a dispute in the will.
The suit was filed before Justice A.O. Adeyemi of the Lagos State High Court.
