Lets look at it individually

North of the lands...Irish
Don't travel too far...Fat people
Wealth is hidden...Take That
Within the words, a denial lies...Michael Jackson
Three of the first...Hasselhoff
A pair of the second...Seleck
Unified a couple goes in the end...Murder
Resemble the keys, one word will appear, and enlighted you shall be! KnightRider

ok so fat irish people from take that....gary barlow comes to mind who like michael jackson which i think was in the papers, hasselhoff and seleck were in the best tv seriers of all time but with murders in both programs it shows the culprit was knightrider...and quite possibly Magnum's Ferrari.

Maybe it's far fetched, but...

North of the lands... North Pole?

Don't travel too far... if you go too far, you end up going south again :p

Wealth is hidden... Um.. water.. :D

Within the words, a denial lies... NO rth pole, or NO r T h Pole

Three of the first... Not

A pair of the second... oe

Unified a couple goes in the end... Net[oo]---> Net

Resemble the keys, one word will appear, and enlighted you shall be! "Ten" :p

seriously, am I even close? ;P Good fun this, tho ;)

Hmm you get the first right clue but in a wrong way, and your oe and the rest is pretty much far fetched :)

Try looking at the verse like this :)
Consider the first part the paper, second part the instructions, third part the hints and the fourth part the conclusion.

Within the words, a denial lies... (Aight so the highlighted letters gave us our denial, it was hidden "within the words" - now how on earth could we have found them?)

Three of the first...
A pair of the second...
Unified a couple goes in the end...
(All right so we know at first we should look for 3, in the first, 3 first letters in the first line. Second we are looking for "a pair" so we're looking for 2, in the "second" aka the second line. At last we are looking for "a couple" it could mean any number but in this case it's 2, "in the end", so naturally we take a look at the next and last line, in the end. By saying this also means that we have reached the end of the denial.
Getting the words "Nor do we".

Resemble the keys, one word will appear, and enlighted you shall be!

(Okay we found our denial, but what on earth is this last line about. It says "one word" will appear, but we have 3 words; "Nor do we". Now this is actually an old riddle invented by Lewis Caroll. Based on an anagram, which means that you move around the letters in one sentence to create a new.
Using the letters: " O N E W O R D" You reverse them into: "O N E W O R D" "One word". Exactly what you were told to be looking for.
