A woman named Mervis Elebe has stepped into the ongoing Psquare family feud, sharing a firsthand account that lends weight to Peter Okoye's claims that his family never accepted his wife, Lola Omotayo.
Peter had recently gone public with a series of videos detailing a bitter falling-out with his twin brother Paul and elder brother Jude, alleging that even their late mother was opposed to his marriage to Lola.

Mervis has now added her voice to the conversation, claiming she was a direct witness to how the family treated the singer's partner.
According to Mervis, she was just 17 years old in 2008 when she travelled to the Omole area of Lagos to sit her JAMB examination.
Being a fan, she decided to stop by the Psquare residence, hoping to get an autograph on one of their CDs. The brothers were abroad for a show at the time, so it was Jude who received her and connected her with one of their cousins.

When Peter eventually returned to Nigeria, Mervis said she got to meet him personally and described him as warm and welcoming. It was during that period, she claimed, that Lola and Peter were not together.
She alleged that Lola sent word that she was pregnant, and Peter subsequently ended a relationship he had with a beauty queen to reunite with Lola.
Mervis was particularly pointed in her comments about Jude, stating that his dislike for Lola was never concealed. She said Jude "cannot deny" how Lola was treated because she witnessed it herself.
She further alleged that the broader family's rejection of Lola stemmed from two factors: the fact that she is Yoruba, and that she is older than Peter.

@armarkar_ commented:
"If you are an Igbo person, an Anambra person you will instinctively understand why Jude might have aversions towards Lola but you need to give people chances. We also need to learn as adults to learn people live their lives. That is where Jude as an elder failed it. You cannot be telling your fellow man how to live his life."

Paul Okoye supports Jude
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Paul Okoye had thrown his weight behind his elder brother, Jude Okoye, after he was arrested by the EFCC
. Jude Okoye had been accused of alleged fraud and remanded at the correctional centre till the case was heard in court.
He told his brother that it was a phrase, and it would soon pass away. He encouraged him to stay strong and be patient about the case. His fans were not happy with his post, as some of them taunted him about it in the comment section.
