Her message attracted attention as relatives and well-wishers celebrated the beginning of a new chapter in Tochi’s life.
The marriage comes more than two years after the February 2024 helicopter crash in California that killed Herbert Wigwe, his wife, Chizoba, their son and former Nigerian Exchange Group chairman Abimbola Ogunbanjo.
The tragedy sent shockwaves across Nigeria’s financial, business and political communities, with tributes pouring in for the late banker, who was widely recognised for his contributions to the country’s banking industry.
Herbert Wigwe was a prominent figure in Nigeria’s financial sector and played a significant role in the growth of Access Bank, which became one of the country’s leading financial institutions under his leadership.
His death was widely mourned by business leaders, government officials, colleagues and members of the public.
Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding her family’s loss, Tochi’s marriage represents a new beginning and an important family occasion.
The traditional wedding also brought together relatives and friends to celebrate the union between the bride and Aikhomu.
The presence of family members at the ceremony underscored the importance of family support during major life events, particularly following periods of grief and personal hardship.
Although the ceremony was reportedly private, Tochi’s aunt’s social media celebration brought the development into public attention.
The wedding has since attracted congratulatory messages from people wishing the couple a peaceful and successful marriage as they begin their life together.
