LAGOS — The Federal High Court in Lagos, on Monday, commenced the trial of Jude Okoye, former manager of the music group Psquare, over alleged money laundering involving N1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59. Okoye is being prosecuted alongside his company, Northside Music Limited, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a seven-count charge bordering on financial crimes.
In a dramatic turn, Peter Okoye, Jude’s younger brother and a member of the defunct Psquare group, appeared in court to testify against him. The trial continues.
