Mr P then vehemently denied ever arresting his twin brother, Paul ‘Rude Boy’ Okoye. According to him, his twin brother was never detained.
Peter went on to explain how he, his twin Paul, and their elder brother, Jude, own a management company called Northside Entertainment, which manages all of P-Square’s affairs.
According to Mr P, one day, he discovered another company with a similar name, which piqued his interest. The company was called Northside Music instead of Northside Entertainment. The singer said he was surprised by the development. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the company belonged to their big brother, Jude Okoye, and his wife, Ifeoma Okoye, and that the address was Ifeoma’s family home.
Mr P said that upon his discovery, he took his findings to Paul on different occasions to ask if he was aware of it but he denied knowing anything about it.
Peter Okoye then challenged Paul Okoye or any other person to bring out any petition he ever filed against his twin brother or any petition from him that had Paul’s name on it.
According to Mr P, he had given clear instructions to his legal team for Paul’s name not to be included, with the focus solely being on Jude Okoye and his wife, Ifeoma, seeing as they were the directors of the secret company.
How Jude Okoye embezzled P-Square’s royalties
Also, in the lengthy note, Peter stated that when he watched Paul’s interview, he wondered why he lied about being petitioned. According to him, that was something that happened to Jude and not his twin brother.
Speaking further on his discovery about Jude Okoye, Peter said that it was unearthed that for years, their elder brother had been diverting millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of naira to his secret company, Northside Music, from their own company, Northside Entertainment.
Mr P added that he understood that Rude Boy was upset that he took the matter to the EFCC, but he was left with no choice because he had met Paul and Jude separately to ask questions, which yielded no positive response.
According to Peter, Paul’s exact words were “Peter, go and do your worst”, after he continued to press for answers.
How Jude Okoye was detained by EFCC
Peter Okoye said that his elder brother, Jude, was eventually detained after he was taken in for questioning. The singer noted that his brother and former manager came clean about diverting millions of their money to him and his wife’s secret company.
Mr P added that after this, all of Jude’s bank accounts were frozen and he was eventually released on bail after providing surety and meeting other bail conditions.
The singer emphasised that his twin brother, Paul’s name was never included in the petition and that he was only invited for questioning, just like Jason Njoku of Iroko TV, and Amaju Pinnick, and others who had transactional dealings with Jude’s secret company.
Peter said that the EFCC discovered that Jude had been collecting P-Square’s royalties for years then transferring the money to bureau de change before finally transferring the funds to Jude’s personal account. He added that a look through Jude’s account statement showed multiple transactions where he split the money equally with Paul and without him being included.
Peter said this raised more questions, and Jude confessed that the money he had been sending to Paul was money he owed him from the sale of their house in America, and he was gradually paying back the loan.
