The defendants in the case are Uche Wigwe, Aigboje AIG Imoukhiede, and Miss Otutochi Channel Wigwe, Herbert Wigwe's 26-year-old daughter.

An article by Mergen Law described an administrator as someone 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.

Although the court had declined to grant the prayers of the claimants, Nigerians are reacting to the development online.

In her reaction, Mkpouto Pius expressed her displeasure over the family's dispute concerning how to manage the late banker's sprawling estate.

She said:

“Just look at. Nigerian families have no shame to be honest, when it comes to trying to disinherit their son’s children. If this man’s wife had survived that plane crash, you can imagine what she would be suffering at the hands of her in-law.

“Very greedy set of people. When the man was working hard, the lazy clowns were chilling and enjoying. Now he’s dead they are coming to struggle for what they didn’t work for. And especially because she’s a woman, the heartless men in the family will gather to collect what is not their own.”
