On Monday, Peter Okoye, now known as Mr. P, shared more insight about the family feud currently going on with the group P-square. In a statement on X, he dismissed claims by his twin, Paul, that he petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest him on multiple charges.
Peter emphasized that his focus was on uncovering the truth behind a secret company, Northside Music, allegedly owned by their eldest brother, Jude Okoye, and his wife, Ifeoma.
The statement read, “Before I tell you the whole story, here is what I need you all to understand.
“It’s always surprising to me when people say, ‘P-Square is always bringing their family matters into the public eye.’ Let me clarify this. P-Square is not just a family; it’s a public brand, but Peter, Paul, Jude, Anita, Ifeoma, Lola, and the rest of our family members are family, but P-Square is an entity that belongs to the public as much as it does to us.
“Our fans have played a significant role in our success, so they have the right to know what’s happening with their beloved brand, P-Square. That’s why it’s understandable when certain aspects of our lives are shared publicly.
“Now, let’s get straight to the point. I want to make it clear that I never reported my twin brother Paul to the EFCC. I know many of you were disappointed when Paul accused me of doing so.
“He mentioned that I wrote a petition against him, which he claimed made the EFCC ask him to provide a surety. This statement suggested that he was detained, which is not true.
“Peter, Paul, and Jude own a management company together called Northside Entertainment, which we use to manage all of P-Square’s affairs. One day, I discovered another company with a similar name, but this one was called Northside Music instead of Northside Entertainment.
“This surprised me, so I decided to investigate further, and guess what? To my shock, the founders and directors of this secret company were none other than Jude Okoye and his wife, Ifeoma Okoye, and the registered address was the family home of Jude’s wife.”
Peter mentioned that he had asked Paul many times about the company and missing royalties, but Paul denied knowledge of such information.
He said, “I approached him multiple times—at least four different times—asking if he knew anything about this secret company and the whereabouts of some of P-Square’s royalties. Each time I met with him, he denied knowing anything about it.
“I want to set the record straight. I hereby challenge Paul or anyone else to show any petition that I, Peter Okoye, ever submitted against my twin brother Paul or that has Paul’s name on it.
“I am still writing this with so much shock because I gave clear instructions to my legal team, with a standing order, that under no circumstances should Paul be included in my petition.
“Their focus was to remain solely on the primary suspects, Jude Okoye and his wife, Ifeoma Okoye, since they were the directors of this secret company, Northside Music.”.
Paul’s recent interview about the EFCC incident contains a lot of lies.”
Peter’s side: How It Started
According to Peter, he discovered that millions of dollars and hundreds of Naira had been diverted from their company, Northside Entertainment, into the secret company’s account.
“The real story goes back to the shocking discovery I made, but what really got me very upset was finding out that for years, millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of naira were being secretly diverted into this secret company’s account, Northside Music, from our own company, Northside Entertainment.
“This was not just a minor issue; it was a massive betrayal that had been going on for several years,” he emphasized.
“Peter, Paul, and Jude own a management company together called Northside Entertainment, which we use to manage all of P-SQUARE’s affairs. One day, I discovered another company with a similar name, but this one was called Northside Music instead of Northside Entertainment.
“This surprised me, so I decided to investigate further, and guess what?To my shock, the founders and directors of this secret company were none other than Jude Okoye and his wife Ifeoma Okoye, and the registered address was the family home of Jude’s wife.
“Still in shock, I knew I had to talk to Paul about it. I approached him multiple times—at least four different times—asking if he knew anything about this secret company and the whereabouts of some of P-SQUARE’s royalties. Each time I met with him, he denied knowing anything about it.
According to Peter, Paul’s recent interview about the EFCC incident contains a lot of lies. This statement was made by Peter after he had earlier expressed frustration over Paul’s constant discrediting of his efforts in the group. The brothers are both currently pursuing solo careers as Rudeboy and Mr. P.
