Jude Okoye, the elder brother of PSquare twins has revealed that he almost ran mad when he learned that his younger brother Peter Okoye filed a petition against him before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Peter had previously stated that he discovered Jude had established a “secret company” and was transferring money to it from their joint venture, which is why he filed the EFCC petition.
While debunking the claim made by Peter in recent a video on Instagram, Jude stated that his company was not hidden and that, despite running a joint venture with his brothers, each of them also had a private company as Peter owns P-Classic and Paul owns Rude Boy Record.
While speaking about the petition that Peter filed with EFCC, he said that Peter did contact him to ask about the company that he claimed to have just discovered.
He added that knew of Peter’s petition, Peter had visited his home, played with his son, and appeared to be in good health only to get an invitation later on from the office of the EFCC days later.
He said: “This guy came to my compound to play with my son knowing fully well he just submitted a petition against me. I almost lost my mind.”
While talking about Paul’s involvement, Jude explained that in a bid to protect himself, he had to submit a petition against P-Square. This way, the EFCC would verify that he was not defrauding Peter and Paul out of the money in his account.
He said: “I was able to get my petition in place against P-Square because that’s the only way I can defend myself.
“They were all busy focusing on my account to see what Peter alleged I was having as P-Square royalties. I couldn’t get them to focus on their account to see the evidence that what I was having, they’re also having their share.”
Jude remarked that the EFCC case is still pending and that the Commission has been really thorough. He also said that the money he withdrew from their account was legally his to keep by their agreement on sharing formula.
He said: “You said that I was taking money that I’m entitled to. You get your royalty when it’s due, you share into three, Paul gets his own, he shares into three, I get my own, I share into three.
“P-Square had issues, you stopped sharing. I told Paul, stop sharing too, let everybody keep what they get and it has been like that for over four and half years.
“P-Square came back together, I did the noble thing, I brought it back to the fold again, and everybody continued sharing again.
“But to date, two and half years after they came back, Paul is still not sharing, Peter is still not sharing. They get it, they keep it to themselves. I said ‘no problem, let me move on with my life’. I still end up in EFCC.’’
