Apara had sued the company, Tinubu and the current Managing Director of the firm, Akin Doherty.

In the writ of summons marked LD/7330GCMW/2020, Apara asked the respondents to appear within 42 days or judgment may be given in their absence.

He stated, “N550m payment to Ocean Trust Ltd vide payment instruction dated the 15/5/18 N850m payment to Ocean Trust Ltd vide payment instruction dated the 14/3/15.”

The claimant said N960m was spent on purchasing HITV’s 300,000,000 shares.
