Popular Nigerian singer and dancer, Korra Obidi has suffered a heavy backlash from netizens over her comment on the coffin of late Managing Director and CEO of Access Bank Plc, Herbert Wigwe.

Recall that Wigwe, his wife, and his son 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.

The funeral service commenced promptly at 11:00 am after a Christian wake keep was organised in their honour.

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.

However, a viral video on social media has shown Wigwe’s coffin covered with an Access Bank flag.

This development did not sit well with Korra who claimed that the bank was using the funeral to promote their image.

Taking to the comment section of Tunde Ednut’s page where the video was shared she wrote, “The shameless PR move with the bank logo on the corpse is cringe to be honest. May their souls rest in perfect peace.”

A middle-aged man, identified as Danjuma Emokpaire, was on Friday killed by unknown gunmen on his farm at Ubune-Ivbiaro Community in Owan-East Local Government Area of Edo State.

Naija News learned that the deceased was attacked by the armed men while leaving the farm after the day’s work.

A resident, who spoke to PUNCH on anonymity, said Emokpaire told him and others that he was going to the farm on Friday to plant yam seedlings.

However, they became worried when the deceased was not seen at home on Saturday morning, and they launched a search and discovered him dead at his farm.

The resident said, “There was heavy rainfall on Friday night, so people did not know if he returned from the farm or not. But this (Saturday) morning, when he was not seen around, some persons went to his house and found it locked from the outside.

“So, we went in search for him at the farm and unfortunately, we found him dead. What we see around the scene of the incident indicated that he was attack and kill while on his motorcycle. There was no sign of struggle between him and his assailants.

“The motorbike was damaged, his cutlass and mobile phone were taken away by the murderers. The incident has been reported to the Afuze Divisional Police, and some officers were sent to the community who went with us to the farm.”

Also speaking, a member of the vigilante group in the community, Abdul Saliu Emokpaire, who is a family member of the deceased, said the corpse had been brought home for burial in accordance with Islamic rites.

Emokpaire called on the security agencies and the Edo State Government to come to the aid of the community as residents of the state are now afraid to go to the farm over fear of being attacked or killed by hoodlums.

He said, “We call on security agencies in the state and Governor Godwin Obaseki to come to our aid. We mourning one of our illustrious sons whose life was cut short by evil men.

“This is farming season, and this is the time the people of the community who are predominantly farmers are preparing their lands for cultivation. Fears have gripped the community and we are now afraid to go to our various farms.”

Confirming the incident, a senior police officer in the Afuze Divisional Police Headquarters, who preferred anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the issue, said officers had been drafted to the community and visited the crime scene.

He also said that the officers obtained the necessary information for investigations.
