Property was N475Million and the Sum of N80Million was paid into his Account, and he was subsequently informed by Abubakar Tutare of the Deposit mentioned it to him. When the EFCC case developed, and he was asked for the total amount given to him, and when he discovered that there would be a problem, he decided to refund even from the initial deposit. He could not raise the Funds all at once; as such Salman Global began making refunds from June 2005 to February 2006 when they finally appeared before the EFCC Lagos. The payment was mostly done in cash to Abubakar Tutare.

He testified further that Abubakar Tutare told him to keep the Money because of the improvements he made and he; Ibrahim actually presumed the Money was for Abubakar Tutare. Rev. Jolly Nyame, as the final person to take decision, asked him not to bother since the Transaction could not hold. Hence the Money was still in his possession. This Statement was taken before a Superior Police Officer for endorsement on the same day, wherein he stated that he made this Statement freely. Further on in the day, Ibrahim Abubakar, made another Statement to the effect thatsince he was only just aware of the Source of Payment made to him on the 13th of September, he would return the N80Million given to him by Abubakar Tutare. On his instruction Suleiman Abubakar, paid Money into his Account at Jalingo Branch of Zenith Bank.
