Jude Okoye and his company, Northside Music Limited, were arraigned by the anti-graft agency on seven counts of money laundering allegations, according to Furucinovel. Psquare member Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, broke the news of their older brother Jude’s release on Wednesday.
After two months and several failed attempts to have Jude’s bail denied, Paul posted a series of videos to Instagram Story in which he and others welcomed Jude home. Come home, brother #judeengees. Additionally, I hope you have a great birthday. “Welcome back, warriors.”
It was previously reported that Rudeboy had implicated Peter Okoye—also known as Mr. P of P-Square—along with his twin brother Jude in Jude’s legal issues and incarceration.
Jude was the defendant in Peter’s testimony last week in Lagos’s Federal High Court. He detailed Jude’s scheme to hide royalties that should have gone to P-Square by forming a shell corporation in his wife’s name. Case adjournment for cross-examination was set for June 4 by the court.
