Published

on

The ongoing feud between the Okoye brothers of P-Square, Peter, Paul, and Jude, has taken a dramatic turn as Peter Okoye testifies against his elder brother, Jude, in a case involving an alleged N1.38 billion fraud. The testimony was given before Justice A. Owoeye at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Peter, represented by his lawyer, Afolabi I, brought forward accusations against Jude and his company, Northside Music Limited, claiming they were involved in financial misconduct, which led to their referral to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Jude faces a seven-count charge, which includes allegations of money laundering and fraud.

One of the charges asserts that in 2022, Jude and Northside Music Limited illegally acquired a property in Lagos valued at ₦850,000,000, knowing it was funded by unlawful proceeds. Jude has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

During his testimony, Peter recounted the history of P-Square, revealing that the group had been disbanded in 2017 but reunited in 2021. He also highlighted long-standing issues with Jude’s management of the group, particularly concerning access to their finances. Peter revealed that Jude was the sole signatory to their bank accounts, causing friction within the group.

Peter shared several troubling instances, including when he was denied access to financial statements and account details despite numerous attempts to address the situation. He described how he discovered discrepancies in the financial records, including the mismanagement of their music catalog and the creation of a company named Northside Music Limited, which appeared to be a parallel entity to their own.

Further evidence was presented that suggested funds owed to Peter were being misdirected, with various financial documents indicating significant tampering and manipulation of the accounts. Peter’s testimony also revealed that his inquiries into the matter were met with resistance, and his efforts to reclaim control over the music catalog were thwarted by his brothers.

In court, Peter expressed frustration at the lack of transparency, and his attempts to address the situation were described as ineffective, as both Jude and Paul failed to provide clear answers or solutions. He also discovered that Jude and his wife controlled the majority of Northside Music Limited, further complicating the situation.

The case continues as Jude faces multiple legal challenges, and the Okoye brothers’ personal and professional tensions remain at the forefront of public attention.
