Nigerian music sensation Paul Okoye of Psquare, also known as Rudeboy, recently made a shocking disclosure during an interview with City 105.5FM.
He revealed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arrested him last December at the request of his twin brother, Peter Okoye. Rudeboy claimed that his brother’s seeming disapproval of his lifestyle was the main reason for his incarceration.
Rudeboy recalled being confused and wondering, “What did I do?” after being threatened with a 20-year prison sentence. He clarified that his detention resulted from his brother’s petition and that his account statements were printed out while the matter was being looked into. Rudeboy conveyed his relief at not having engaged in fraudulent activities, saying that it would have had disastrous consequences for him.
Paul Okoye further said that about a month ago, a family meeting was held, and Rudeboy was cleared of all allegations by the EFCC officials. Despite being declared innocent, Peter Okoye didn’t apologize for his actions. Rudeboy attributed the allegations to their differing lifestyles, stating that he’s a businessman who saves money, whereas his brother spends lavishly.
The EFCC investigation revealed that Peter Okoye had used Rudeboy’s funds for personal purchases dating back to 2006/2007.
