Former P-Square manager Jude Okoye has pushed back against financial misconduct allegations raised against him by his younger brother, Peter Okoye (Mr P), revealing how luxury car purchases led to disputed transactions submitted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a livestream addressing the ongoing legal and family feud, Jude clarified transactions dating back a decade that had been questioned during anti-graft investigations.
He explained that equal cash payments received by twin brother Paul Okoye coincided with major personal expenditures made by Peter at the time.
"This $100,000 he is complaining about was exactly the same day he got engaged to his then-girlfriend, now wife. He bought a Range Rover for her same day, same time. Paul did not buy a Range Rover for anybody. He said, 'Jude, put my own in my account,' and I did that," Jude stated.
Addressing a second disputed transaction involving $150,000 from January 2014, Jude explained that the disbursement arose because Peter opted to purchase a luxury vehicle while Paul chose to take his cash equivalent.
"The second one of $150,000 was in the middle of January 2014. You told me you wanted to buy a Bentley. I gave you $200,000. Paul said, 'I'm not buying a Bentley. Put $150,000 in my account and send me $150,000 to go to America to catch fun with,'" the talent manager recalled.
Expressing frustration over having to defend standard historical profit splits before law enforcement, Jude questioned why former personal milestones were being framed as fraudulent diversions.
"And now you are asking me to come to EFCC to come and explain why Paul has $150,000 in his account and you don't have yours... Paul has $150,000 in his account, you had a Bentley. The thing was so annoying, so frustrating that I am now the person that has to be explaining what your memorable times and periods are supposed to be for you," Jude added.
The public spat follows an ongoing criminal case before the Lagos Special Offences Court, where Jude Okoye and his firm, Northside Music Ltd, face charges regarding music digital distribution and publishing royalties.
Peter Okoye filed a petition with the EFCC accusing Jude and Paul of financial misappropriation and operating secret corporate accounts. Jude maintains his innocence, insisting that all distributed funds were authorized, documented, and previously cleared during EFCC interrogations.
Jude Okoye just went live… and he didn’t hold back.

“Let me tell you the real reason Peter is angry and dragging me every day. Me and Paul put our money into real estate. Today we own big estates across Nigeria and that money is working for us quietly.
