In a video interview with TVC News, Joyce Wigwe spoke about what the family has been through, how his brother was maltreated, and the presence of 10 armed vehicles, following the one-year memorial of Herbert Wigwe.

She expressed gratitude for how far the family had come despite the challenges, describing the moment as a victory.

“We give God the glory; we’ve come so far. We feel really victorious because, at the end of the day, the event went on, and Emeka was released,” she said.

Joyce Wigwe emphasized that their primary focus was to honor Herbert, Doreen, and Chizi, adding that God had been glorified through it all.

Joyce Wigwe mentioned that a group of security officers were present, along with Herbert Wigwe’s daughter. She also noted the presence of Herbert Tochi and Uche Wigwe, her cousin.

According to her, Herbert had brought Tochi and Uche into the family, treating them as brothers and positioning them as the family’s representatives in his affairs.

“But they came in with security officials, nothing less than 10 cars, security officers. We came in here masked armed men, you begin to wonder if you actually came to drop rates and pay respect. Do you come with up to 10 armed vehicles with security staff with guns to the family and not even as much as go and pay the elderly people any form of respect, that wasn’t done.”

Joyce Wigwe recounted the tense events of the previous day, describing how her brother was nearly crushed. She explained that he fell to the ground, and a car almost ran over him before someone pulled him to safety. However, as he tried to escape, he was caught again, fell once more, and ended up on top of the vehicle.

“So that is really where we found ourselves yesterday, they almost crushed him on the floor, he fell on the floor, the car almost ran, somebody pulled him out then he got out and then he ran, they got him again and he fell on the floor on top of the car.”

Joyce Wigwe described how her brother was initially pulled away but was then restrained. She explained that he struggled to free himself, and in a moment of frustration, he struck the last person holding him. This, she said, was what led to claims that he had been involved in a confrontation with the DSS.
