Peter Okoye, widely known as Mr P, has pushed back against a circulating report claiming the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has no evidence to support his long-standing allegation that his brothers, Jude and Paul Okoye, withdrew $800,000 from their company account without authorization.
His petition, filed in 2024, accused Jude of diverting company funds, running 47 undeclared bank accounts, and altering the ownership structure of Northside Entertainment Ltd., the company jointly owned by the brothers.
Punch reported last Friday that during a cross-examination at the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja, EFCC counsel Mohammed Bashir allegedly told Justice Rahman Oshodi that the commission could not tender any evidence of the disputed withdrawal. According to the publication, he was quoted as saying: We do not have it. It is his evidence. Let him prove it. I can’t give what I don’t have. The commission was also reported to have said it had no records of the accounts Peter mentioned.
Reacting online, Peter dismissed the entire report as jokes and propaganda, insisting that there was no court session where the EFCC investigator made such a claim. He maintained that the narrative being circulated does not reflect what transpired in court.
