The Group Chief Executive Officer, Access Holdings Plc, Herbert Wigwe, is dead.
Wigwe was said to have died following a helicopter crash in California near the Nevada border, in the United States of America.
However, it’s not confirmed whether his wife or children were involved.
The Federal Aviation Administration said that the Eurocopter EC130 helicopter crashed at around 10pm local time near Nipton, California, an unincorporated community about 60 miles south of Las Vegas in eastern San Bernardino County on Friday.
The helicopter was said to be heading to Nevada before the crash.
