Accusations Fly: Mr. P Allegedly Behind Legal Drama
The family feud took a public turn last week when Peter Okoye (Mr. P), the other half of the P-Square duo and Jude’s younger brother, testified against him in a Federal High Court in Lagos.
In his testimony, Peter accused Jude of creating a secret company under his wife’s name, which was allegedly used to divert royalties meant for P-Square. The court has adjourned the case until June 4, 2025, for cross-examination.
