Nigerian singer-songwriter Peter Okoye says he broke down emotionally while recounting a period when his then-girlfriend, Lola, became pregnant when he was 27. In a video posted on his Instagram page, he says he decided to announce the pregnancy himself rather than letting the news come from someone else. He describes making the announcement during the Soundcity Awards, after Peter Okoye and his group received an award, dedicating it to God Almighty, their fans, and others who supported them, before also dedicating it to Lola as the mother of his unborn child. He then alleges that Jude and Paul reacted by walking out, saying the public disclosure would damage the group’s career. Peter Okoye further claims Jude and Paul insisted that Lola abort the pregnancy and that they sought to undermine her by urging an abortion. He also says they forged an email to try to frame Lola, claiming the child was not his and accusing her of using the pregnancy to trap him.
