Leaked Documents on Psquare's EFCC Case
Legit.ng previously reported fresh evidence in the ongoing legal dispute between the Okoye brothers. Documents surfaced showing that Peter Okoye had invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate his twin brother Paul, despite Peter's earlier denials. A petition dated January 29, 2024, signed by Peter, specifically requested the EFCC to probe Paul's bank accounts from '2004 till date.'
The case involves their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, who is also under investigation. The leaked documents contradict Peter's previous statements that he had not involved Paul in the fraud case.
