Paul’s accompanying message seemed to go beyond a simple welcome—it carried a subtle tone of resentment, likely aimed at his twin brother, Peter Okoye.

Jude had been arraigned in court on Wednesday by the EFCC, following a petition reportedly filed by his younger brother, Peter Okoye. He is facing charges related to alleged money laundering involving N1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59.

The EFCC filed seven counts against him and his company, Northside Music Limited. Jude has denied all allegations. He was granted bail on March 6, but remained in custody until he met the bail conditions.
