Peter came to my compound, played with my son after submitting petition against me at EFCC – Jude Okoye
Peter came to my compound, played with my son after submitting petition against me at EFCC – Jude Okoye
Jude Okoye has said he almost lost his mind when he learnt his brother Peter Okoye filed a petition against him.
Peter earlier claimed he filed the EFCC petition after discovering his brother Jude Okoye opened a “secret company” and was diverting funds from their joint company to it.
Jude has denied this and claimed his company was not secret and while he and his brothers have a joint company, they all have their own private companies too, including Peter who has P-Classic and Paul with Rude Boy Record.
He added that his Northside Entertainment company has been in existence for 11 years and it was not secret.
Speaking on the petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), he stated that Peter never came to him to ask about the company he claimed he just discovered before going to file a petition against him with the EFCC.
He added that at the time Peter filed the petition, before he (Jude) became aware of it, Peter came to his house played with his son and acted like everything was fine. Only for him to get an invitation from the EFCC afterwards.
Jude said this action almost caused him to run mad.
He said: “This guy came to my compound to play with my son knowing fully well he just submitted a petition against me. I almost lost my mind.”

Speaking on how Paul got involved, Jude said that, to defend himself, he had to file a petition against P-Square so that the anti-graft agency would see that the money he has in his account, Peter and Paul also have in theirs and he wasn’t cheating them.
Jude said: “I was able to get my petition in place against P-Square because that’s the only way I can defend myself.
“They were all busy focusing on my account to see what Peter alleged I was having as P-Square royalties. I couldn’t get them to focus on their account to see the evidence that what I was having, they’re also having their own share.”
He added that the EFCC case is still ongoing and the Commission has been very thorough.
He stated that whatever money he took is money that is rightfully his based on their agreed sharing formula.
Jude explained: “You said that I was taking money that I’m entitled to. You get your royalty when it’s due, you share into three, Paul gets his own, he shares into three, I get my own, I share into three.
“P-Square had issues, you stopped sharing. I told Paul, stop sharing too, let everybody keep what they get and it has been like that for over four and half years.
“P-Square came back together, I did the noble thing, I brought it back to the fold again, everybody continued sharing again.
“But till date, two and half years after they came back, Paul is still not sharing, Peter is still not sharing. They get it, they keep it to themselves. I said ‘no problem, let me move on with my life’. I still end up in EFCC.”

Tito had been actively performing, touring with his brothers Marlon and Jackie under the name “The Jacksons” in recent months, with shows in Germany, England, and California.
As a key member of the Jackson 5, alongside brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael, Tito helped the group achieve global fame after signing with Motown Records in 1969. Their classic hits, including “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” and “I’ll Be There,” defined the sound of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Tito, along with his Jackson 5 brothers, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 by Motown legend Diana Ross.
In his solo career, Tito made his mark in blues and funk. His 2016 single “Get It Baby” became a Billboard hit, making him the last Jackson sibling to achieve solo chart success.
His second album, Under Your Spell (2021), featured collaborations with music greats like George Benson, Bobby Rush, and Stevie Wonder.
Tito is survived by his three sons. His former wife, Dolores, passed away in 1994. His legacy as a foundational member of one of the most influential musical families in history will live on.
