The sudden passing of one of Nigeria's foremost bankers and CEO, Herbert Wigwe, in a plane crash in the United States of America has sparked massive emotions on social media.

Days after his passing, a video of Herbert Wigwe's multi-million rand Lagos residence recently leaked on social media, getting people talking.

It was a three-minute tour video of the outside and inside of the 20-bedroom Lagos mansion.

Herbert Wigwe's Ikoyi mansion is on 23,000 square meters of land, the same area as the Ikeja City Mall.

When did Herbert Wigwe build this mansion?

According to reports from the engineering firm Craneburg, which was responsible for building the edifice, the mansion took them 22 months to finish.

Reports say Herbert Wigwe moved in late last year and planned to make it his retirement home, among his other luxury properties scattered throughout Lagos.

Popular Twitter real estate commentator Oke Umurhohwo, aka Oke Stalyf, is quoted as saying that an infrastructure of that scale would cost at least $15 to $20 million.
