“I am utterly devastated. Since yesterday, a profound sense of pain and disbelief has consumed me. It's not because of any financial gain tied to him or Sujimoto's dealings with Access Bank. It's because, deep within my heart, I cherished him, Herbert, so deeply. His entrepreneurial fire, his unwavering determination, his boundless generosity, and his daring business acumen-these qualities captivated my admiration and love. Waking up today, the weight of sorrow is unbearable. May his soul find peace, and may the Almighty grant him forgiveness and serenity. Rest in peace, HW.”
