Peter Okoye and EFCC court drama
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission dismissed Peter Okoye’s claim that his brother Jude Okoye defrauded P-Square of $800,000.
The EFCC stated during a November 28, 2025, court hearing in Ikeja that it had no evidence to support the allegation and asked Peter to provide proof.
The case deepened the rift between the Okoye brothers, with Paul Okoye backing Jude and distancing himself from Peter publicly.
