Nigerian singer Peter Okoye has openly criticised his family following his testimony against his elder brother, Jude Okoye, in a major money laundering case currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Jude and his company, Northside Music Limited, are being prosecuted for allegedly laundering over N1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59.
Reacting to the situation, Peter took to his Instagram story on Tuesday to express how years of silent suffering had impacted him. He spoke candidly about toxic family ties and prioritising his mental health above all else.
“Don’t let ‘family’ be the reason you’re drowning in silence. I did – for over 20 years plus. And it almost cost me everything,” he wrote.
Reflecting on his emotional journey, the former P-Square member said, “But now I know better – love doesn’t manipulate, loyalty doesn’t betray and family does not steal from you. Family that steals and breaks you isn’t family at all.”
Peter added that he would no longer allow anyone—family or not—to damage his peace of mind.
“Real family doesn’t drain you, shame you, discriminate against you or ignore your pain. My sanity matters. My mental health is a priority. If it costs my mental health, then it’s too expensive,” he stated.
His remarks come at a time when the Okoye family is once again in the spotlight, this time over serious financial allegations, highlighting the deep-rooted personal and legal tensions among the siblings.
