Fraud case: P-Square’s former manager finally granted bail after 2 months

Jude Okoye, the elder brother of P-Square, has been released from custody. He spent over two months with Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

His release sparked celebrations, especially from his younger brother, Paul Okoye (Rudeboy). Rudeboy shared a post on Instagram to celebrate the occasion.

He wrote, “Jude is finally out after 2 months+… all their efforts to frustrate his bail have finally collapsed. Welcome home brother @judeengees. And happy birthday.”

While the message was joyful, it hinted at tension within the Okoye family. This tension seems directed toward Peter Okoye, Jude’s estranged twin brother.

Jude was arraigned by the EFCC on serious money laundering charges. These charges involve $1 million, ₦1.38 billion, and €34,537.59.

A Lagos court ruled that Jude could be granted bail under certain conditions. He needed to provide two sureties worth ₦100 million each and could not leave Nigeria.

Although he was briefly re-arrested after being granted bail, sources say all conditions are now met. Jude has officially returned to his family.

His release marks a significant moment in this high-profile case in Nigeria's entertainment community.
