<h2>Popular Nigerian singer and dancer, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/Korra-Obidi/">Korra Obidi</a> has suffered a heavy backlash from netizens over her comment on the coffin of late Managing Director and CEO of Access Bank Plc, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/Herbert-Wigwe/">Herbert Wigwe</a>.</h2>
<p>Recall that <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/09/wigwe-wife-sons-corpses-arrive-for-burial-service/">Wigwe, his wife, and his son</a> were laid to rest in a private interment following a funeral church service at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo, Rivers State.</p>
<p>The funeral service commenced promptly at 11:00 am after a Christian wake keep was organised in their honour.</p>
<p>Hundreds of mourners, including friends, associates, and well-wishers from Nigeria and across the globe poured into Isiokpo to pay their final respects to the trio.</p>
<p>However, a viral video on social media has shown Wigwe’s coffin covered with an Access Bank flag.</p>
<p>This development did not sit well with Korra who claimed that the bank was using the funeral to promote their image.</p>
<p>Taking to the comment section of Tunde Ednut’s page where the video was shared she wrote, "<em>The shameless PR move with the bank logo on the corpse is cringe to be honest. May their souls rest in perfect peace."</em></p>

<p>However, netizens insisted that the Access Bank flag on the coffin was a sign of respect.</p>
