Peter Okoye Reacts As EFCC Insists No Proof Of $800,000 Fraud Against Jude, Paul

Published

Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye, better known as Mr P., has reacted to reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has no evidence to support his allegation that his brothers, Jude Okoye, and Paul Okoye, of the defunct music group, P-Square, fraudulently withdrew $800,000 from their company account while they worked together.

Naija News recalls that the allegation stems from a 2024 petition by Peter Okoye, who accused Jude and Paul of diverting funds and secretly operating 47 undisclosed bank accounts while manipulating the shareholding structure of Northside Entertainment Ltd.

Following the petition, the commission filed financial misconduct charges against Jude, linking them to the management of the P-Square brand.

Under cross-examination, EFCC counsel, M.K. Bashir, told Justice Rahman Oshodi that the commission could not produce proof for the alleged $800,000 withdrawal.

Pressed by the court to substantiate the claim, Bashir replied: “We do not have it. It is his evidence. Let him prove it. I can’t give what I don’t have.”

He further denied holding proof of the alleged 47 bank accounts, adding, “It is one of the witness’s claims, but I do not have such a copy.”

Reacting via his social media handle, Peter described the report as jokes and propaganda.

According to him, there was never a court session in which the EFCC investigator made this claim.

He wrote, “Joke and propaganda. Again, pushing false narratives to the media about a court session that never happened, all to make me look bad? Social media no be judge.”

Afrobeats singer, Shallipopi has knocked popular critic Daniel Regha after the latter criticized his latest album, Auracle.

Daily Voice reports that Regha described the album as lacking lyrical growth, creativity, and substance, saying that while some beats are good, the tracks decline in quality as the album progresses.

He suggested that the project would have been better released as a shorter EP.

Despite the criticism, Regha acknowledged that the song Pull Up, featuring Pa Salieu, had a strong flow, though he rated the album overall very low.

He wrote: “Shallipopi can’t be considered a real artiste, just someone who has access to a studio; But he gets credit for putting his state on the map. His latest album “Auracle” is a painfu’ listen with no lyrical evolvement, substance, or creativity shown. Asides some good beats, each track gets progressively worse from the previous one. He should taken four or five tracks and call it an EP. The project will do numbers due to people’s taste in music nowadays, however no-one’s IQ will improve people’s taste in music nowadays, however no-one’s IQ will improve by such an album, nor can it be a cultural reset.

That said, one song “Pull Up” has a good flow (lyrics aside), with Pa Salieu bringing the track to life. It’s a 1/10. No offense.”

Reacting, Shallipopi wrote: “SYBAU You know nothing about music.”
