His love for cars made him collect a fleet of luxury vehicles including a Lamborghini Urus, Lamborghini Harracan and Ariel Atom, GT Shelby, a Nissan GTR and a Harley Davidson motorbike.

After his death, Atu’s mother, Sati Ocran suggested that the vehicles be sold and proceeds used to build Atu’s dream legacy project at his alma mater, Adisadel College.

“Apart from the significant monetary value these cars collectively possessed, the sentimental value of the cars was priceless by virtue of the love Atu had for his ‘toys’,” he told GraphineOnline.

He said even the idea to build Atu’s heartbeat project suggested by his mother, Sati Ocran originated from Atu Mould himself adding that the family took no credit for the project.

“Even in the construction and finish of the building, we believe we have been guided by Atu’s spirit in the sense that in every step of the way we have been asking ourselves; how would Atu have done this or how would he have wanted that done. And it is important because Atu was very particular in the way he wanted his things done. To put it in another way Atu had his standards, and without any bias of being his brother, Atu’s standards were nothing short of excellence.”
