Peter Okoye from P-Square recently spoke up about his money laundering case against his older brother, Jude Okoye. He made an emotional statement after testifying in Lagos court on April 14, 2025. Peter said keeping quiet for more than 20 years almost ruined him completely. He warned others not to let family relationships keep them silent when facing betrayal.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission filed the lawsuit claiming Jude controlled all P-Square money without Peter knowing. Reports indicate that Jude was the only person who could sign for accounts at three major banks, allegedly moving money into his company called Northside Music Limited. Peter told the court he only found out about money problems in 2022, despite many arguments about finances before that. His lawyers claim the financial wrongdoing involves about ₦1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59.
Jude has said he did nothing wrong when facing these serious accusations. Both brothers will return to the Federal High Court in Lagos on June 4, 2025. Financial experts will likely provide more information during this next hearing. The music industry watches closely as this family dispute unfolds in public view. Many fans express surprise at how business matters tore apart what was once Nigeria's most famous music duo.
