Peter Okoye took the witness stand against his brother Jude in a high-stakes fraud trial at the Federal High Court in Lagos. He accused Jude of mishandling the famous music group's finances and keeping critical money details secret. The case centers on allegations of financial misconduct involving P-Square's former management.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission charged Jude with seven counts of money laundering and fraud. Peter testified that Jude controlled the group's bank accounts and withheld financial information during their 2017 split. He claimed Jude stopped funding his building project without explanation and refused to share music royalty details.
Peter discovered Jude and his wife owned Northside Music Limited, which managed P-Square's royalties without his knowledge. After unsuccessful attempts to resolve issues privately with Jude and brother Paul, Peter filed a complaint with financial crime investigators. The court will continue examining financial records and hearing testimonies in the ongoing case.
Jude faces serious allegations, including unlawful property acquisition worth 850 million naira in Parkview Estate. He pleaded not guilty when arraigned in February 2025. The lawsuit threatens to expose further the deep personal and professional tensions within the once-united musical family.
