Videos and photographs from the event circulated on social media on Thursday, attracting congratulatory messages and goodwill wishes from friends and well-wishers.

Tochi studied at New York University before obtaining 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 HOW Foundation, established in memory of her father.

Her husband, Aikhomu, is a Lagos-based investment professional and Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Zoya Admiralty.

He is the son of the late Rear Admiral Joseph 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 before taking up his current position at Zoya Admiralty.

The wedding comes more than two years after Tochi lost her parents and elder brother in a helicopter crash in the United States.

Herbert Wigwe, his wife, Chizoba, and their son, Chizi, died on February 9, 2024, when a helicopter carrying them crashed near Nipton, California, while travelling from Palm Springs to Boulder City, Nevada.

The crash also claimed the lives of former Nigerian Exchange Group Chairman, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, and two crew members.
