Justice A. Owoeye of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has adjourned the trial of Jude Chigozie Okoye, former manager of Paul and Peter Okoye (P-Square), to October 23, 2025. Okoye and his company, Northside Music Limited, are facing a seven-count charge of alleged N1.38 billion money laundering, filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
During Wednesday’s hearing, first prosecution witness, Peter Okoye, testified under cross-examination that he never had access to the company’s accounts and only received payments unrelated to royalties. Peter also stated he was unaware of Northside Music Limited’s existence until late 2022.
Okoye has pleaded not guilty. The trial will resume on October 23 and November 10, 2025.
