Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, has made a significant revelation in the ongoing Lagos State High Court trial of his elder brother, Jude Okoye, who is accused of misappropriating $1 million.

The musician admitted that he and his twin brother, Paul, are co-signatories on the Northside Entertainment Limited bank account, contradicting his previous testimony that Jude was solely responsible for the company’s finances.

Co-signatory confession

During proceedings before Justice Rahman Oshodi, Peter clarified that Jude was initially the sole signatory, but he and Paul were added to the account in later years.

“Despite being co-signatories, I never personally signed cheques or managed transactions,” Peter told the court.

The admission came during cross-examination by defence counsel Clement Onwuewunor (SAN), who was presented with official bank documents.

P-Square catalogue ownership

Peter also addressed the dispute over the P-Square music catalogue, asserting that the nearly 100-song collection belongs exclusively to him and Paul.

He emphasised that Jude was not an original member of the group but became their manager around 2004 or 2005, without a formal written agreement.

Justice Oshodi has adjourned the case until May 15, 2026, for continuation. Fans of the iconic duo have closely followed developments, with reactions divided over the ongoing family and financial dispute.

Paul Okoye has publicly supported his brother Jude in the legal battle, drawing attention to the complex dynamics among the Okoye siblings.
