Popular singer, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, has said his twin brother Peter Okoye, aka Mr P, was behind his recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
In a recent interview with City FM, Lagos, Rudeboy said Mr P
wrote a petition to the anti-graft agency to invite him over alleged fraudulent
dealings.
He said that despite the EFCC clearing him of all
allegations after a thorough investigation, his twin brother refused to
apologise over the false accusations.
“This year, I was invited by the EFCC after they received a petition against me from my twin brother. I never thought it [our beef] would get to this extent. I thought it was just music,” he said.
“The next thing, people are asking me, ‘What do you do?’
Somebody said, ‘You’re going to go to jail for 20 years. They’re going to lock
you up.’ I got to the EFCC office, they told me everything. They’ve already
printed all my account statements. They asked me to explain every transaction.
“First of all, what entered my mind was, what if I was into
fraud? That’s how my brother would have finished me? But I took it. Then they
started the investigation. At a point, I was no longer comfortable with the
kind of questions they were asking me. When I knew it was serious was when they
asked me to get a lawyer and sureties. I did everything.
“One month ago, they called me, my twin brother and our
elder brother [Jude Okoye], and said, ‘First of all, we have to say that after
all investigations, Paul is innocent. Paul is cleared. Everything you accused
him of, we’ve done our investigation and he’s innocent.’
“Despite the fact that I was proven innocent, my twin
brother didn’t apologise for the false accusations,” he narrated.
