In a candid and detailed statement, Peter Okoye, one half of the famous P-Square duo, has publicly denied allegations that he used the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to target his twin brother, Paul Okoye.
The allegations surfaced after Paul claimed that Peter had written a petition against him, which led to his questioning by the EFCC.
However, Peter insists that the allegations are baseless and that Paul was never the subject of any petition he submitted.
Peter explained that his actions were prompted by a shocking discovery involving their older brother, Jude Okoye, and Jude’s wife, Ifeoma Okoye.
According to Peter, Jude and Ifeoma secretly registered a company named Northside Music, which bore a striking resemblance to their family-owned management company, Northside Entertainment.
This company, Peter claims, was used to divert millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of Naira that rightfully belonged to P-Square into a secret account.
Peter recounted how he repeatedly approached Paul to discuss the matter, but Paul denied any knowledge of the secret company. Peter expressed his frustration at Paul’s public statements, accusing him of telling lies and misrepresenting the situation.
He emphasized that Paul was never included in his petition and that his focus was solely on Jude and Ifeoma, the directors of Northside Music.
The situation escalated when Peter reported the matter to the EFCC after exhausting all attempts to resolve it privately.
Jude was subsequently detained, and during questioning, he admitted to diverting funds into the secret company’s account.
His bank accounts were frozen, and investigations are ongoing. Paul, meanwhile, was invited for questioning due to his transactional dealings with Northside Music but was not directly implicated.
Peter concluded his statement by expressing his determination to reveal the full story in due time, once the EFCC completes its investigation. He promised to make public the exact petition that does not include Paul’s name, along with other relevant documents.
The saga continues to unfold, with the public and fans of P-Square eagerly awaiting further developments.
