Nigerian music star Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has made a major disclosure in the ongoing Lagos State High Court trial involving his elder brother Jude Okoye, who is facing allegations of misappropriating $1 million.
During proceedings before Justice Rahman Oshodi, Peter admitted that he and his twin brother Paul Okoye were co-signatories to the bank account of Northside Entertainment Limited — a statement that contradicted his earlier testimony suggesting Jude had sole control over the company’s finances.

Peter clarified that although Jude was originally the only signatory when the company started, both he and Paul were later added to the account.
“Despite being co-signatories, I never personally signed cheques or managed transactions,” he told the court.
The revelation reportedly came during cross-examination by defence counsel, Clement Onwuewunor (SAN), after official banking documents were presented as evidence.
Peter also addressed the ongoing disagreement regarding ownership of the P-Square catalogue, maintaining that the nearly 100-song collection belongs solely to him and Paul.
According to him, Jude was not a founding member of the group but later became their manager around 2004 or 2005 without any formal written contract.
Justice Oshodi subsequently adjourned the case until May 15, 2026, for further hearing.
The legal dispute has attracted widespread public attention, with fans of the iconic duo expressing mixed reactions over the family and financial tensions. Meanwhile, Paul Okoye has publicly shown support for Jude amid the court proceedings, highlighting the complex relationship among the Okoye brothers.
