Nigerian music star Paul Okoye has made a public statement regarding his elder brother, Jude Okoye’s, recent arraignment.
TheNewsGuru recalls that Jude Okoye, the former manager of the popular music group Psquare, was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) before Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court in Lagos over allegations of N1.38 billion fraud.
The Psquare duo, comprising Paul and his twin brother Peter Okoye, has been a prominent force in the Nigerian music industry. However, the group has faced challenges in recent years, including a publicized split. The brothers’ relationship has been strained, with both parties pursuing solo careers.
Jude Okoye’s legal issues have raised questions about the management of Psquare’s finances during his tenure as their manager.
The Okoye family has been in the spotlight for years, with their personal lives and relationships under constant scrutiny. The latest development has added fuel to the fire, with many wondering what the future holds for the Psquare brothers and their family.
In his statement, Paul Okoye told journalists after the court hearing, that his brother Peter Okoye was involved in Jude’s legal troubles.
He said, “My Lord, I have here with me documents of one of my properties situated in Ikoyi valued at several billions of naira, and I’m willing to drop it with the court, but please release my brother to me on bail today.”
TNG understands that the EFCC is currently investigating Jude Okoye after Peter Okoye petitioned the anti-graft agency over a “secret company” he discovered that had “Jude Okoye and his wife Ifeoma Okoye as founder and director” and the whereabouts of some of P-Square’s royalties.
