My twin brother Peter was behind my recent arrest – Paul Okoye
Nigerian musician, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, is making headlines with a startling revelation about his twin brother who doubles as his music partner, Peter Okoye, also known as Mr. P.
According to Rudeboy, his twin brother Peter orchestrated his recent detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
He stated that despite being exonerated of all charges by the EFCC following a comprehensive inquiry, his twin brother has yet to offer an apology for the baseless claims.
Paul described the experience as both shocking and painful, highlighting the extent of the rift between the brothers.
“This year, I was invited by the EFCC after they received a petition against me from my twin brother. I never thought it [our beef] would get to this extent. I thought it was just music,” he said.
“The next thing, people are asking me, ‘What do you do?’ Somebody said, ‘You’re going to go to jail for 20 years. They’re going to lock you up.’ I got to the EFCC office, they told me everything. They’ve already printed all my account statements. They asked me to explain every transaction.
“First of all, what entered my mind was, what if I was into fraud? That’s how my brother would have finished me? But I took it. Then they started the investigation. At a point, I was no longer comfortable with the kind of questions they were asking me. When I knew it was serious was when they asked me to get a lawyer and sureties. I did everything.
“One month ago, they called me, my twin brother and our elder brother [Jude Okoye], and said, ‘First of all, we have to say that after all investigations, Paul is innocent. Paul is cleared. Everything you accused him of, we’ve done our investigation and he’s innocent.’
“Despite the fact that I was proven innocent, my twin brother didn’t apologise for the false accusations,”
Paul also revealed that he has parted ways with his twin brother Peter after the latter said he was no longer interested in the group.
