Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has reacted to reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lacks evidence to back his claims that his former P-Square bandmates and brothers, Jude and Paul Okoye, fraudulently withdrew $800,000 from their joint company account.
The dispute traces back to a 2024 petition filed by Peter Okoye, in which he accused Jude and Paul of diverting funds, secretly operating 47 undisclosed bank accounts, and manipulating the shareholding structure of Northside Entertainment Ltd. Following the petition, the EFCC brought financial misconduct charges against Jude, linking him to the management of the P-Square brand.
During cross-examination in court, EFCC counsel M.K. Bashir told Justice Rahman Oshodi that the commission could not produce any evidence supporting the alleged $800,000 withdrawal.
Pressed to substantiate the claim, Bashir said, “We do not have it. It is his evidence. Let him prove it. I can’t give what I don’t have.”

He also denied holding proof of the alleged 47 bank accounts, adding, “It is one of the witness’s claims, but I do not have such a copy.”
Reacting on social media, Peter Okoye dismissed the report as “jokes and propaganda,” criticizing attempts to portray him negatively.
