Peter Okoye testifies in a Lagos Federal High Court about royalties he received from the French music rights organization SACEM for P-Square songs, admitting he received more than $800,000. According to court reporting, he makes the disclosure while being cross-examined by counsel in the ongoing dispute involving P-Square and the parties around the group’s members.
The outlets describe his statements as addressing where the SACEM royalties went and whether any portion was paid to his brother, Jude. One account says Peter insists that none of the money was paid to Jude, while another focuses on the admission that he received the royalties in the first place. The reporting indicates the testimony is part of the court proceedings and centers on the handling of the royalty funds connected to the group’s recordings.
Both reports agree on the core figure—over $800,000 in SACEM royalties—and that Peter makes the statements before Justice Alexander Owoeye in Lagos during cross-examination.
