Jude Okoye Files Lawsuit to Stop Peter From Performing P-Square Songs

• Jude Okoye has filed a lawsuit seeking to stop Peter from performing P-Square songs
• Jude claims he solely owns P-Square and only employed Peter as a dancer
• Peter pushed back, insisting he and Paul brought Jude into the music business

Jude Okoye has filed a lawsuit against his younger brother, Peter Okoye, seeking to stop him from performing P-Square songs, in the latest escalation of the long-running family feud.

Jude, who joined the group as a manager in 2005, is claiming he discovered and solely owns P-Square, and that Peter was only ever employed as a dancer within the group.

Their twin brother, Paul Okoye, is backing the lawsuit.

Peter and Paul had actually started performing together as far back as 1997, singing in an a cappella group at their secondary school in Jos, before eventually releasing their debut album, Last Nite, in 2003 under the Timbuk2 Music Label.

Peter discloses fresh lawsuit in tell-all video

Peter disclosed the lawsuit in the sixth instalment of his ongoing video series addressing the family dispute, describing it as a separate matter from the existing EFCC case involving Northside Music, in which he says he is only a witness.

He said:

"There's another court case. Jude served me a letter with the support of Paul that he is the P-Square. First thing they wanted to do was to stop me from performing P-Square's songs."

Peter directly disputed Jude's version of how the group came together, insisting he and Paul were the ones who brought Jude into the fold, not the other way round.

He said:

"You said you brought us to Lagos. Jude, we brought you to Lagos. I sold my car and paid for our first house. I still have the receipts. You and Paul ran away when there was nothing. I stayed back. Now, all of a sudden, you own Psquare."

Jude Okoye's ex-lawyer weighs in on the feud

According to an earlier report by YEN.com.gh, Jude Okoye's former lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, stepped forward to question why Peter was airing the family dispute publicly rather than letting the courts resolve it.

Effiong confirmed his firm had handled the early stages of Jude's legal defence, securing his bail before the Federal High Court in September 2024, and stressed that Jude had not been convicted of any crime and remained entitled to the presumption of innocence.
