Singer Paul Okoye aka RudeBoy has accused his twin brother Peter of being responsible for the case of fraud instituted against their elder brother Jude.

On Wednesday, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Jude, the former manager of Paul and Peter who made up the defunct group P-Square, on charges of laundering ₦ 1.38 billion, $1 million and £34,537.59.

Jude was arraigned alongside his company, Northside Music Ltd before Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court, Lagos, on a seven-count charge. He pleaded “not guilty” to the charges.

Justice Owoeye remanded Jude in the Ikoyi correctional facility pending hearing for his bail application after the prosecuting lawyer Larry Aso countered Jude’s lawyer Inibehe Effiong who wanted his client remanded in the EFCC’s custody.

In a trending video recorded at the court’s premises on Friday, Paul promised to secure his release.

He told journalists that he and Peter were guilty of what Jude was being accused of.

“I’m supporting him because I know the truth,” said Paul.

“The truth is Peter is the one putting Jude through these things. It’s Peter who is doing these. He is putting him in prison and I’m here to bring him out.

“I’m only standing for the truth because the same crime that they accused him of doing, then Peter is guilty, Paul is also guilty too.”

Namaster:
People say Paul is the better SINGER.
But I'd say Peter is the better PERSON.

Peter did NOT put Jude in jail.
Jude's CRIMES put Jude in jail.

So Paul needs to STOP victim-framing the CRIMINAL.

He's being accused of laundering, and probably embezzling, almost THREE BILLION NAIRA.

Some politicians DON'T even embezzle HALF that amount throughout their criminal careers.

Yet Jude allegedly stole that from his OWN family.

ANY man who defrauds other people to enrich himself is EVIL.
But a man who defrauds his own FAMILY is NO MAN.

He's a JUDAS that must be quickly led to his own AKELDAMA.

Peter should CARRY ON!

When Jude made a video the last time, he explained to these and I agree with Paul that the three are guilty.
Every one one them receives their own royalty. Does Peter expect Jude to remit his own royalties when he Peter is getting his own?
This money in question, who's the owner? Is it Jude or Peter? That's the question.
Was Peter and Paul receiving the same amount found in Jude's account when these money was coming in?
Let them trace Peter's account and confirm if he got the same amount found in Jude's own.
And at the end of these thing when Jude is free, he should sue Peter's ass and make him pay heavily for all these.
No matter how much is involved, I'll never tarnish my family's name like this publicly.
Even is Jude is guilty, right thing is to ask for your money back.
