date and for Coyen to be remanded in the correctional facility.

46
00:03:01,840 –> 00:03:06,960
The Defense Council in Ibelle Fium, however, informed the court

47
00:03:07,039 –> 00:03:10,159
of Okoye’s bill application and prayed for a short date

48
00:03:10,240 –> 00:03:14,599
of adjuntment to enable its hearing. The Defense Council also

49
00:03:14,719 –> 00:03:18,039
prayed that the defendants be rather remanded in the EFCC

50
00:03:18,240 –> 00:03:22,439
cost to depending the hearing of the bill application. Objecting

51
00:03:22,479 –> 00:03:25,000
to the prayer for the defendants to be remanded in

52
00:03:25,080 –> 00:03:30,080
efccays custody, the Prosecution Council argued that the Commission’s holding

53
00:03:30,199 –> 00:03:34,159
facility was already congested with suspects awaiting arraignments, and that

54
00:03:34,280 –> 00:03:37,599
the court should remand the defendant in the correctional facility

55
00:03:37,719 –> 00:03:41,919
since he has taken his plea justice overa adjoint the

56
00:03:42,000 –> 00:03:45,560

00:03:52,479 –> 00:03:56,759
equal incorrectional center. It will be recalled that in August

60
00:03:56,800 –> 00:04:00,080
twenty twenty four we had reported that the Nigeria They

61
00:04:00,120 –> 00:04:03,800
ran music and break Down star Peter o’ koya aka

62
00:04:03,919 –> 00:04:06,560
Mister p of the Peace Choir Group has accused his

63
00:04:06,639 –> 00:04:09,840
twin brother paul O Koya aka rud Boy, and their

64
00:04:09,840 –> 00:04:13,800
elder brother Jude O’koya of working together to always humiliate him,

65
00:04:13,800 –> 00:04:16,000
with the twin brother telling lies to mat fans hlt

66
00:04:16,120 –> 00:04:19,360
him as if he Peter is always jealous of him.

67
00:04:19,680 –> 00:04:23,120
Peter o’koya, in a new statement captured as an open

68
00:04:23,199 –> 00:04:28,000
letter addressed to his twin brother paul O Koye, says

69
00:04:28,040 –> 00:04:30,759
they have lost command in the pulling of crowds of

70
00:04:30,839 –> 00:04:33,639
people of fans on life when they were together as

71
00:04:33,720 –> 00:04:38,439
pea Square Adam. Since the ball splittered with different brand

72
00:04:38,519 –> 00:04:41,399
names as Mister p and Rude Boy, they have not

73
00:04:41,560 –> 00:04:44,439
been able to stage a show with the entire stadium

74
00:04:44,480 –> 00:04:47,120
filled with people. On life the years the word together

75
00:04:47,240 –> 00:04:51,439
as Peace Square, Peter o’koye accused the elder brother of

76
00:04:51,519 –> 00:04:55,360
trying to oppress him. Aden. Instead of his younger and

77
00:04:55,480 –> 00:04:58,839
twin brother Paul, to work together with him to build

78
00:04:58,879 –> 00:05:02,240
Peace Square, he decided to pitch tent with Jude, who

79
00:05:02,319 –> 00:05:06,839
in the open letter he described as someone not helping matter. Peter,

80
00:05:07,000 –> 00:05:10,519
in the second letter he issued seven Day, attributed the

81
00:05:10,720 –> 00:05:13,600
likely cause of problems in the Peace Square group to

82
00:05:13,639 –> 00:05:17,839
their elder brother, Jude, whom he accused was always stealing

83
00:05:17,920 –> 00:05:21,800
their money wile the way together as Peace Square. According

84
00:05:21,839 –> 00:05:26,480
to Peter, their elder brother secretly created a company similar

85
00:05:26,560 –> 00:05:29,079
to the name of the original company that were using

86
00:05:29,160 –> 00:05:33,800
to receive royalties as Peace Square, adding, unknown to him,

87
00:05:34,199 –> 00:05:37,720
the elder brother diverted millions of dollars and nira of

88
00:05:37,759 –> 00:05:40,680
their money to the secret company account, which he said

89
00:05:41,199 –> 00:05:44,800
both the elder brother and wife inform aware. The directors

90
00:05:44,839 –> 00:05:48,519
of the company and the address of the registrant secret

91
00:05:48,600 –> 00:05:51,879
company was the family house of his elder brother’s wife.

92
00:05:52,639 –> 00:05:57,360
He said he never petitioned his twin brother before EFSAC. Rather,

93
00:05:57,959 –> 00:06:03,160
it was his elder brother Jude that was petitioned, invited, questioned,

94
00:06:03,199 –> 00:06:07,160
and the tend by the EFCC Peter or Korean World’s

95
00:06:07,199 –> 00:06:11,199
rent verbatim imparts does before I tell you the whole story,

96
00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:15,160
here is what I need you all to understand. It’s

97
00:06:15,199 –> 00:06:18,879
always surprising to me when people say Peace Square is

98
00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:23,240
always bringing their family matters into the public eye. Let

99
00:06:23,319 –> 00:06:26,839
me clarify this, Peace Square is not just a family,

100
00:06:27,360 –> 00:06:32,680
it’s a public brand. But Peter, Paul, jilled A, Nata

101
00:06:32,920 –> 00:06:37,680
informat Lalla and the rest of our family members are family.

102
00:06:38,120 –> 00:06:40,839
But Peace Square is an entity that belongs to the

103
00:06:40,879 –> 00:06:44,319
public as much as it does belong to us. Our

104
00:06:44,399 –> 00:06:48,079
fans have planned a significant role in our success, so

105
00:06:48,160 –> 00:06:50,480
they have the right to know what’s happening with their

106
00:06:50,519 –> 00:06:55,360
beloved brand, Peace Square. That’s why it’s understandable when certain

107
00:06:55,519 –> 00:07:00,319
aspects of our lives are short publicly. Now let’s get

108
00:07:00,319 –> 00:07:03,160
stressed to the point. I want to make it clear

109
00:07:03,279 –> 00:07:06,959
that I never reported my twin brother Paul to the EFCAC.

110
00:07:07,920 –> 00:07:11,240
I know many of you were disappointed when Paul accused

111
00:07:11,240 –> 00:07:14,600
me of doing so. He mentioned that I wrote a

112
00:07:14,639 –> 00:07:18,680
petition against him, which he claimed met the EFCAC to

113
00:07:18,839 –> 00:07:23,199
ask him to provide a surety. This statement suggested that

114
00:07:23,319 –> 00:07:27,759
he was detained, which is not true. Peter, Paul, and

115
00:07:27,839 –> 00:07:31,759
Jude own a management company together called north Side Entertainment,

116
00:07:32,199 –> 00:07:35,399
which we used to manage all of peace Quaer’s affairs.

117
00:07:35,879 –> 00:07:39,600
One day, I discovered another company with a similar name,

118
00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:42,920
but this one was called north Side Music instead of

119
00:07:43,040 –> 00:07:48,040
north Side Entertainment. This surprised me, so I decided to

120
00:07:48,079 –> 00:07:52,199
investigate further and guess what to my shop. The founders

121
00:07:52,240 –> 00:07:55,360
and directors of this secret company were none other than

122
00:07:55,480 –> 00:07:58,720
Jude Okoye and his wife informer Okoye, and the registered

123
00:07:58,839 –> 00:08:03,120
address was the family home of Jude’s wife. Still in shock,

124
00:08:03,560 –> 00:08:06,079
I knew I had to talk to Paul about it.

125
00:08:06,879 –> 00:08:11,319
I approached him multiple times, at least four different times,

126
00:08:11,560 –> 00:08:14,680
ask him if he knew anything about the secret company

127
00:08:14,759 –> 00:08:18,639
and the whereabouts of some of Pea Square’s royalties. Each

128
00:08:18,720 –> 00:08:22,639
time I met with him, he denied knowing anything about it.

129
00:08:23,439 –> 00:08:27,079
I want to set the records trait I hereby challenge

130
00:08:27,120 –> 00:08:30,680
Paul or anyone else to show any petition that I

131
00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:35,399
Peter o’koye ever submitted against my twin brother Paul, or

132
00:08:35,440 –> 00:08:38,759
that has Paul’s name on it. I am still writing

133
00:08:38,840 –> 00:08:42,120
this with so much shock because I gave Claire instructions

134
00:08:42,120 –> 00:08:45,799
to my legal team with a stunning order that under

135
00:08:45,799 –> 00:08:50,279
no circumstances should Paul be included in my petition. Their

136
00:08:50,360 –> 00:08:54,679
focus was to remain solely on the primary suspects, June

137
00:08:54,679 –> 00:08:58,480
o’koye and his wife informer o Koye, since the way

138
00:08:58,559 –> 00:09:03,279
the directors of this secret company not side music. Faul’s

139
00:09:03,279 –> 00:09:07,919
recent interview about the EFCAC incident contains a lot of lies.

140
00:09:08,720 –> 00:09:13,240
I watched and listened to Paul’s interview. I was totally speechless,

141
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:16,639
and I kept asking myself, how does Paul have the

142
00:09:16,679 –> 00:09:20,039
audacity to publicly tell lies like this even with a

143
00:09:20,120 –> 00:09:25,039
respected and reputable agency like the EFCAC. He claimed I

144
00:09:25,120 –> 00:09:29,360
coeteitioned him, But that’s not something that ever happened to Paul.

145
00:09:30,200 –> 00:09:34,440
The truth is this was something that actually happened to Jude.

146
00:09:35,080 –> 00:09:38,360
The real story goes back to the shocking discovery I med.

147
00:09:38,879 –> 00:09:42,120
But what really got me very upset was finding out

148
00:09:42,200 –> 00:09:45,960
that for years, millions of dollars and hundreds of millions

149
00:09:46,000 –> 00:09:50,039
of naira were being secretly diverted into the secret company’s account.

150
00:09:50,159 –> 00:09:53,919
Not side music from our own company, not side entertainment.

151
00:09:54,799 –> 00:09:57,879
This was not just a minor issue. It was a

152
00:09:57,960 –> 00:10:01,440
massive betrayal that had been going on for several years.

153
00:10:01,879 –> 00:10:05,000
I understand that Paul is angering because I took this

154
00:10:05,159 –> 00:10:10,840
matter to the EFCAC and I understand why. However, Mary

155
00:10:10,919 –> 00:10:13,960
in mind that I have met Paul and June separately

156
00:10:14,120 –> 00:10:16,759
and tried to discuss this matter, and it yielded me

157
00:10:16,879 –> 00:10:20,679
with no positive answer. In fact, the last time I

158
00:10:20,799 –> 00:10:24,480
approached Paul, the conversation got hitated up and he said,

159
00:10:24,919 –> 00:10:29,000
and I quote Peter, go and do your worst. At

160
00:10:29,039 –> 00:10:31,799
this stage, one was left with no other choice but

161
00:10:32,039 –> 00:10:36,360
to report to the authorities and take legal actions. June

162
00:10:36,399 –> 00:10:39,840
was then the ten. After being questioned, he came claim

163
00:10:39,919 –> 00:10:43,240
and admitted he had been diverted millions of dollars of

164
00:10:43,240 –> 00:10:45,879
our money to this secret company that he and his

165
00:10:45,960 –> 00:10:49,919
wife were the director of. All of Julee’s bank accounts

166
00:10:49,919 –> 00:10:54,360
were immediately frozen. He was eventually released on bill after

167
00:10:54,399 –> 00:10:57,120
he managed to provide a surety and met the other

168
00:10:57,200 –> 00:11:02,559
Bell conditions. Meanwhile, further investigations are still going on. Up

169
00:11:02,639 –> 00:11:06,279
until now, Paul’s name was never mentioned in the petition

170
00:11:06,480 –> 00:11:09,559
because he was never a director of this secret company.

171
00:11:10,039 –> 00:11:13,240
Unless there is something he is hiding from all of us.

172
00:11:13,759 –> 00:11:17,399
Paul was only invited for questioning, just like Jesson in

173
00:11:17,480 –> 00:11:22,399
Joco of Iroco, TV, Amajupink and others who had transactional

174
00:11:22,440 –> 00:11:27,519
dealings with North Side Music. The EFSAC investigation found out

175
00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:31,159
that North Side Music had been secretly collecting Pece Square’s

176
00:11:31,240 –> 00:11:35,279
royalties over the years. These royalty money was sent to

177
00:11:35,360 –> 00:11:39,679
a bureauder change then transferred to Jille’s personal bank account.

178
00:11:40,440 –> 00:11:43,960
A closer look at Jill’s account statement revealed that once

179
00:11:44,000 –> 00:11:48,159
the money entered his personal account, there were multiple transactions

180
00:11:48,200 –> 00:11:51,840
where he was splitting the funds equally with Paul without Peter.

181
00:11:52,759 –> 00:11:56,879
This naturally left to some questions. After Juke confessed to

182
00:11:57,000 –> 00:12:00,840
diverting the funds, he also told the e FCC that

183
00:12:01,000 –> 00:12:03,679
the money he had been sending to Paul for several

184
00:12:03,759 –> 00:12:08,759
years wasn’t about sharing money behind Petersburg. Instead, it was

185
00:12:08,840 –> 00:12:11,200
money he owed Paul from the cell of the House

186
00:12:11,240 –> 00:12:14,440
in America, which he was gradually paying back. The loon.

187
00:12:15,320 –> 00:12:18,200
This is the reason why Paul has been telling everyone

188
00:12:18,240 –> 00:12:21,559
that the EFCC has cleared him, as if I ever

189
00:12:21,639 –> 00:12:25,639
wanted him to get into trouble with the EFCC. The

190
00:12:25,720 –> 00:12:28,960
story is very long, but I will tell it all

191
00:12:29,000 –> 00:12:33,000
in due time. For now, I will stop here until

192
00:12:33,039 –> 00:12:37,279
the EFCC since the final report to my legal team.

193
00:12:37,720 –> 00:12:41,320
Once that happens, before heading to the law court, I

194
00:12:41,480 –> 00:12:45,480
will meet the exact petition that doesn’t include Paul’s name public.

195
00:12:46,320 –> 00:12:51,159
I will also release the EFCC final report, receipts and

196
00:12:51,320 –> 00:12:56,559
other documents related to this secret company, including the CC registration,

197
00:12:57,080 –> 00:13:00,919
bank transactions and bank statements that June set up with

198
00:13:01,000 –> 00:13:04,519
his wife. I froma O ko ye. May God help

199
00:13:04,639 –> 00:13:09,240
us all because that’s one on Lady, bringin your niece

200
00:13:09,480 –> 00:13:10,759
