Leaked documents about Psquare's EFCC case
Legit.ng previously reported that fresh evidence emerged showing how Peter Okoye invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate his twin brother, Paul Okoye.
Although Peter had repeatedly denied involving Paul in the ongoing alleged fraud case with their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, leaked documents told a different story.
However, a petition dated 29 January 2024, signed by Peter himself, specifically requested the EFCC to investigate Paul’s account from “2004 till date.”
