Peter Okoye slams brothers Paul and Jude, exposes 'dastardly' plot to 'rob' him of rightful property

Peter Okoye, a member of the Nigerian music group P-Square, has accused his brothers Paul and Jude of a "calculated attempt" to push him out of a jointly owned property in Atlanta, USA.

The dispute began in 2014, when the three brothers agreed to divide their shared assets three ways, splitting properties that included a house in America and two wings of a duplex. Peter was allocated the US property, Jude took the furnished right wing of a duplex in Squareville, and Paul received the left wing.

Because Peter's share was considered higher in value due to a favourable exchange rate shift, they agreed to balance the books by paying Paul 30 million naira. However, the situation unravelled when Peter Okoye returned from a trip abroad and received a message from a US-based realtor friend asking why the Atlanta property had been listed for sale without his knowledge.

He confronted Jude backstage at a show, only to be met with a sudden slap in front of colleagues and clients. A scuffle nearly broke out before Peter told Jude on the spot that he was fired.

The drama escalated when Peter attended a lawyer's meeting expecting to formalise the 30 million naira payment to Paul. Instead, he was handed documents demanding he liquidate his shares in Nosa Entertainment and hand them over. He refused to sign, and he claims Jude subsequently threatened to shoot him and his wife, a threat he recorded on his phone, which was the 2015 video he showed to fans labelled part 5.

He states he also reported an earlier threat to a governor, after which Jude posted an image of three guns on social media with a threatening caption.

Peter Okoye says that once he secured the Atlanta property through an existing resolution document, Jude's wife was reportedly turned away when she tried to access the apartment. He also alleges that during the period of dispute, funding for his house, being built through Nosa Entertainment money, was quietly cut off. He points to the creation of Nosa Music as proof that Jude and Paul sought to sideline him entirely, noting that Jude's wife was made a shareholder in the new entity.

The video shared by Peter Okoye has drawn an outpouring of responses from fans. The former P-Square star has accused his brothers of a "dastardly" plot to "rob" him of his rightful property. As the dispute continues, it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved.
