“The company in question, Value Trust Investment Ltd, has briefed us to represent it in respect of the contractual dispute. After painstakingly perusing the documents at our disposal (which documents are hereby made available for public perusal) we have come to the following irresistible conclusions, shorn of politics and its brickbats”.
The legal firm denied that there was any? time Dr.Doyin Okupe or any of his companies took money from the Benue State Government and “vanished into thin air” as has been portrayed in many quarters.
“The clear evidence of this is that, by a letter dated 23rd January, 2007, the Benue State Government itself wrote and acknowledged that forty percent (40%) of the work had been executed as at that date by Value Trust Investment Ltd,” the chambers claimed.
