Peter Okoye Confirms Receipt of P-Square Royalty Records

In a Federal High Court in Lagos, Peter Okoye, a member of the defunct music duo P-Square, acknowledged that his elder brother, Jude Okoye, provided him with six years of royalty records covering 2016 to 2022. This admission was made during cross-examination by Jude's counsel, Clement Onwuewunor, SAN, in a trial regarding alleged financial crimes involving Jude and Northside Music Limited.

Peter initially claimed that Jude took over three months to send the records after his request in 2022 but was confronted with evidence that Jude sent the records six days after a request made on October 16, 2022. Peter could not produce evidence for an earlier request.

He confirmed receiving approximately $800,000 in SACEM royalties but denied sharing any with Jude, asserting that the payments were solely for him and his twin brother, Paul Okoye. Peter also stated that Jude was not part of P-Square, despite acknowledging Jude's role in directing some music videos.
