Jude Okoye Denies Alleged $1.2 Million Royalty Diversion, Claims Mr P Is Avoiding the Witness Box
The legal battle involving former P-Square manager Jude Okoye took another dramatic turn after he firmly denied allegations that he diverted $1.2 million in music royalties, insisting the claims are false and accusing his younger brother, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, of avoiding cross-examination in court.
According to reports by The Cable, Jude, while testifying before the court, rejected the allegations of financial misconduct, maintaining that all royalty payments were properly handled and accounted for. He argued that the accusations against him lack merit and suggested that Mr P has deliberately failed to appear in court to defend his claims under cross-examination.
The case stems from an ongoing dispute over the management and distribution of royalties generated during the iconic P-Square era. Prosecutors allege that over $1.2 million belonging to Peter Okoye was unlawfully diverted, a claim Jude has consistently denied.
As reported by Punch Newspapers and The Cable, Jude told the court that he has nothing to hide and remains confident that the judicial process will clear his name. He further insisted that the evidence presented would expose what he described as inconsistencies in the allegations against him.
The high-profile case continues to attract widespread attention from fans and industry stakeholders, as the long-running family feud between the Okoye brothers unfolds in court. The matter has been adjourned to a later date for the continuation of proceedings.
