In a video, the former manager of the duo noted that he was interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to confirm his financial status after Peter made a petition against him.
He said P-Square comprised three people and he was not a bystander, and he presented a memorandum of understanding to that effect. While he got 40 percent of the group’s royalties, Peter and Paul got 30 percent each.
Jude explains how he built his mansion
According to him, the EFCC asked how he built his mansion in Ikoyi, Lagos and he revealed it was with the proceeds from his work with P-Square.
The father of three, married for 10 years, noted that he devoted his life to the group but he was wanted out. The group ended in 2017 and no one was cheated. He also praised the EFCC for being thorough with their job.
He also said Peter never came to him to complain about any financial misappropriation and it gave him heartache when he got the EFCC petition.
