P-SQUARE FEUD TWIST: PETER OKOYE’S ABSENCE STALLS BROTHER’S ₦1.3BN FRAUD TRIAL
The alleged ₦1.3 billion fraud trial involving Jude Okoye, elder brother and former manager of the defunct P-Square music group, was stalled after key prosecution witness Peter Okoye failed to appear in court.
Peter, one half of the famous music duo, was expected to testify in the case being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
His absence reportedly forced the court to adjourn proceedings, delaying further hearing in the high-profile case that has attracted significant public attention.
Jude Okoye is facing allegations relating to financial transactions and management of funds, claims he has denied as the legal process continues.
The case has intensified interest in the long-running dispute involving members of the Okoye family, with fans closely monitoring developments both inside and outside the courtroom.
The court is expected to fix a new date for the continuation of the trial, when witnesses and parties are anticipated to return for further proceedings.
