Mrs Atiku made this known while being cross-examined on Wednesday by Mr Amos Ibe, the defence counsel to Akpan-Jacobs.
“I paid N49 million for the land used as the premises of THA Shipping, my partner Fred Holmes never contributed to the buying of the land but he contributed to the building of the property. “The N49 million was given to Akpan-Jacobs to purchase the land, but did not know who he bought the land from. “He never contributed a dime, he was just like an errand boy,” Atiku said.
