Peter Okoye, one half of the estranged musical duo PSquare has denied allegations that he played a role in his 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.
Speaking after court hearing, Paul Okoye accused Peter of being responsible for their elder brother’s ordeal.
He stated, “It is not about supporting him because I know the truth. And the truth is, unfortunately, the way the journalists are making it look like he is a fraud.
“Let’s call a spade a spade, Peter is the one putting Jude to this thing, simple. It is Peter that is doing this, putting him in prison, and I’m here to bring him out.”
In response to Paul’s claims, Peter’s manager, Emem Kush, dismissed the allegations in a statement to Punch Saturday Beats.
She said, “I don’t know Peter is on this issue. And I don’t think he has any comment on this issue. The case is between the EFCC, based on their investigation, and Jude Okoye.
“I don’t see how Peter Okoye has anything to do with it. We have no comment on this matter. Peter didn’t drag anybody to the EFCC.
“The petition was against the company that has been receiving funds on his behalf. And he knew nothing about it. Don’t mix up issues, and let’s not create issues where they are not.”
Regarding whether any conditions were attached to the case, she added, “The EFCC was the one that received all of this, so I think it’s best to speak to them to know the facts of the case, and their findings.
“I don’t represent the EFCC. I’m not spokesman for the EFCC. I’m not spokesman for either party, so I can’t tell you.”
