NGFormer P-Square manager Jude Okoye has denied allegations from his younger brother, Peter Okoye (Mr P), that he diverted over $1.2 million in music royalties. Jude stated that these claims have already been investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and are currently under judicial review. In a video shared on Instagram, Jude accused Mr P of attempting to influence public opinion during the ongoing legal process and questioned why Mr P has avoided appearing in court. He explained that a $25,000 royalty payment was made directly to Mr P's personal account per his instructions in 2016, with the remaining funds transferred to the Northside Entertainment account. Jude provided documentation showing that Mr P remained a signatory to P-Square's bank accounts and claimed that the transfer of music catalog records occurred within six days, contrary to Mr P's assertion. Additionally, Jude refuted claims that Mr P had only recently started receiving royalty payments in U.S. dollars, stating that such payments began in 2012. He emphasized that all financial transactions were properly recorded and aligned with existing agreements.
