Jude Okoye Denies Peter Okoye’s $1.2M Royalty Diversion Claims, Cites EFCC Probe
Jude Okoye, former manager of the music duo P-Square, has dismissed allegations by his brother Peter Okoye that he diverted over $1.2 million in royalties and manipulated financial records. In a video released on Sunday, Jude said all royalty payments and financial distributions followed existing agreements and were fully documented. He rejected claims that Peter was removed as a signatory on company bank accounts or denied access to royalty records, insisting those allegations are false.
Jude noted that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has already investigated the matter and that the case is now before a competent court. He said relevant bank statements, financial records and digital evidence have been submitted to the court as part of the ongoing legal proceedings. He urged the public to ignore social‑media commentary and let the judicial process determine the facts.
The dispute highlights the lingering rift between the Okoye brothers over business and financial matters, a saga that has kept fans and industry watchers on edge. For artistes and industry stakeholders, the case underscores the need for clear, documented royalty agreements and transparent financial oversight to protect earnings and avoid protracted disputes.
