Sola Faleye, the personal assistant to the late Access Holdings PLC CEO, Herbert Wigwe has narrated how luggage issues prevented him from joining his late boss on the ill-fated flight that ended his life and those of his wife, son and the former group chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), Abimbola Ogunbanjo.
Faleye said this in tears while giving a tribute to the Wigwe’s during a night of tributes held in honour of late Herbert Wigwe in Lagos on Wednesday.
He said he was supposed to fly in the chopper but on second thought he decided to accompany their luggage by road since the chopper could not carry it.
According to Falaye, he decided to accompany the luggage by road to ensure they arrived safely to his boss who told him it was a brilliant idea.
So he headed to Vegas by road with the luggage while Wigwe, his wife, son and Mr Ogunbajo boarded the chopper to the same destination.
While still driving to Vegas, Faleye tried to call his boss and the others on the chopper, but none of the calls went through.
He later found out from the driver of the vehicle waiting to pick up Wigwe and his family at Las Vegas that the chopper they boarded had crashed.
