Tochi Wigwe, the eldest surviving daughter of the late Access Holdings Group Chief Executive Officer Herbert Wigwe, has married investment executive Wilson Omogbale Aikhomu in a private traditional wedding ceremony held in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The colourful event took place on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, and was attended by family members, close friends and loved ones from both the Wigwe and Aikhomu families. Traditional marriage rites featured prominently, including the payment of the bride price, the signing of family documents, and the formal handing over of the bride to her husband’s family.
Videos and photographs from the ceremony circulated widely on social media on Thursday, showing the bride looking radiant in traditional attire as she danced joyfully and participated in the cultural proceedings. Guests and well-wishers flooded online platforms with congratulatory messages.
Tochi, 28, is an alumna of New York University and holds a master’s degree from Imperial College London. She previously worked as an analyst at Access Bank and interned at Coronation Merchant Bank. She currently serves as a director at the Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe (HOW) Foundation, established in honour of her late father to continue his philanthropic legacy.
Her husband, Wilson Aikhomu, is a Lagos-based investment professional and the Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Zoya Admiralty. He is the son of the late Rear Admiral Joseph Omozuwa Aikhomu and nephew of former Chief of General Staff Admiral Augustus Aikhomu. Aikhomu studied Finance at California State University, Northridge, and later obtained a qualification in Investments and Risk Finance from the University of Westminster. He previously worked with Leadway and RMB Stockbroking. Reports indicate he was a close friend of Tochi’s late brother, Chizi.
The wedding marks a significant new chapter for Tochi more than two years after the tragic helicopter crash in California on February 9, 2024, that claimed the lives of her father Herbert Wigwe, her mother Chizoba, and her brother Chizi. In a social media tribute, Tochi’s aunt described the occasion as “beauty for ashes,” expressing gratitude that her niece could begin this new phase of life despite the family’s profound loss.
The intimate ceremony has been widely celebrated as a moment of joy and resilience for the Wigwe family.
