Nigerian musican Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P and one-half of the now-defunct music group P-Square, has opened up about long-standing issues within his family, following his testimony against his elder brother Jude Okoye in a money laundering case. Jude Okoye and Northside Music Limited are currently facing a seven-count charge filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), involving alleged laundering of N1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59.
Peter testified before Justice Alexander Owoeye at the Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday, April 15.In a post shared on his Instagram story the following day, the music star revealed he had endured over two decades of manipulation and betrayal from family, and is now choosing to prioritize his mental wellbeing. "Don't let 'family' be the reason you're drowning in silence.
I did - for over 20 years and it almost cost me everything.
But now I know better - love doesn't manipulate, loyalty doesn't betray, and family doesn't steal from you," he wrote.
