Paul Okoye Reacts To Brother Jude Okoye’s Arraignment, Says It’s ‘What Someone Wanted’

Singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has reacted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraignment of his older brother, Jude Okoye, over alleged money laundering.

Jude Okoye and his company, Northside Music Ltd, were arraigned on Monday, February 26, before Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. He faces a seven-count charge related to the alleged laundering of ₦1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59.

In response to the development, Paul took to social media to express his support for his brother, saying:
“This too shall pass. Stay strong, brother.”

He further suggests that the situation was orchestrated, stating that it was “what someone wanted all along.” However, he did not name who he was referring to.

This comes months after Paul’s twin brother, Peter Okoye, publicly revealed that he had filed a petition with the EFCC against Jude. Peter alleged that Jude had opened a “secret company” and was diverting funds from their joint business into it.

Jude, however, denied the accusations, clarifying that while he and his brothers co-owned a business, they also operated separate private ventures—P-Classic (Peter’s), Rude Boy Record (Paul’s), and Northside Music Ltd (his own).
