The ongoing family feud within Nigeria’s legendary music group, P-Square, has taken a dramatic turn as Paul Okoye has accused his twin brother, Peter Okoye, of attempting to imprison their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, over an alleged N1.3 billion fraud.
Paul, in a viral interview on Friday, February 28, 2025, claimed that Peter was responsible for Jude’s arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He vowed to fight for Jude’s release, insisting that if Jude is guilty of financial misconduct, then both he and Peter should also be held accountable.
“The truth is, Peter is the one putting Jude through these things. He is the one putting him in prison, and I am here to bring him out. Because if Jude is guilty, then Peter is guilty, and I am guilty too,” Paul asserted.
Jude Okoye was arraigned before a court this week following EFCC’s probe into an alleged N1.3 billion fraud. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the case has reignited tensions within the Okoye family, who have had a history of public disputes.
The controversy has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with fans and industry players speculating about the depth of the rift between the once inseparable P-Square duo.
As the case unfolds, Paul’s public defense of Jude and his allegations against Peter add another layer to an already complex family drama, one that continues to play out on social media and in court.
“Peter is the one trying to send our brother Jude to prison and I’m here to bring him out. If they accuse Jude of doing something, it means Peter is guilty and I am guilty too”
