Singer Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, has reacted to reports claiming that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has no evidence to support his allegation that his brothers, Jude and Paul Okoye of the defunct P-Square, fraudulently withdrew $800,000 from their company account.
Peter had taken his brothers to the EFCC in 2024, alleging that Jude diverted company funds, operated 47 undeclared bank accounts, and manipulated the shareholding structure of Northside Entertainment Ltd., a company jointly owned by the brothers.
However, during the resumed cross-examination at a Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja on Friday, November 28, EFCC counsel Mohammed Bashir reportedly told the presiding judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi, that the commission could not tender evidence supporting the alleged $800,000 withdrawal.
Bashir was quoted as saying:
“We do not have it. It is his evidence. Let him prove it. I can’t give what I don’t have.” The EFCC also denied possessing records of the accounts.
Peter Okoye has responded via social media, describing the report as “jokes and propaganda.” He insisted that there was never a court session where the EFCC investigator made such claims.
Peter also denied having 47 bank accounts and challenged claims that he held an 80% stake in the company, noting that Corporate Affairs Commission records contradict the allegations.Singer Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, has reacted to reports claiming that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has no evidence to support his allegation that his brothers, Jude and Paul Okoye of the defunct P-Square, fraudulently withdrew $800,000 from their company account.
