“It was a massive betrayal”: Peter Okoye breaks silence as P-Square internal wrangling gets dirty, netizens call for calm

P Peter Okoye, one-half of the famous Nigerian musical duo P-SQUARE, has revealed the shocking reason why he has locked horns with his brother, Paul, in a fight that has caught the attention of Nigerians and music lovers across the world.
Peter was responding to the allegation of his brother, Paul, who had made several claims against him.
Peter Okoye denied accusations that he reported his twin brother, Paul Okoye, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) contrary to reports making the rounds on social media
In a statement, Peter not only dismissed the claims but also uncovered a complex web of family betrayal and financial impropriety, revealing a more intricate story than initially thought.
He said, “Now, let's get straight to the point. I want to make it clear that I never reported my twin brother PAUL to the EFCC. I know many of you were disappointed when PAUL accused me of doing so. He mentioned that I wrote a petition against him, which he claimed made the EFCC to ask him to provide a surety. This statement suggested that he was detained, which is not true.
”Peter, Paul and Jude own a management company together called Northside Entertainment, which we use to manage all of P-SQUARE’s affairs. One day, I discovered another company with a similar name, but this one was called Northside Music instead of Northside Entertainment.
“This surprised me, so I decided to investigate further and guess what? To my shock the founders and directors of this secret company were none other than JUDE Okoye and his wife Ifeoma Okoye and the registered address was the family home of JUDE’s wife.
“Still in shock, I knew I had to talk to PAUL about it. I approached him multiple times - at least four different times - asking if he knew anything about this secret company and the whereabouts of some of P-SQUARE’s royalties. Each time I met with him, he denied knowing anything about it.
The top Nigerian singer challenged his brother, Paul, or anyone else to bring forth their evidence if he has ever included his twin brother in the alleged petition.
“I want to set the record straight, I hereby challenge PAUL, or anyone else to show any petition that I, Peter Okoye, ever submitted against my twin brother PAUL or that has PAUL’S name on it.”
He added, “The real story goes back to the shocking discovery I made, but what really got me very upset was finding out that for years, millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of Naira were being secretly diverted into this secret company’s account Northside Music from our own company, "Northside Entertainment." This was not just a minor issue - it was a massive betrayal that had been going on for several years.”
In the meantime, netizens have charged the duo to reconcile and bring their differences to an end. Erigga Miracle said, “I don’t want to read anymore. Please you guys should settle, I’m expecting new album from you guys one love.”
Sarah Aigbe prayed the singers heal from the cause of their internal wrangling. She said, “I’m beginning to prefer you to your brother and beginning to see reasons why his wife left him. I just hope the new wife will be able to cope.. I pray you people heal and skedaddle from whatever it is causing the conflict…lots of love from here.”
