The ongoing fraud trial involving Jude Okoye and Northside Music Limited, and the absence of key witness Mr. P (singer), could negatively impact the reputation and financial prospects of the involved individuals and company. The music industry, particularly artists associated with the defunct SK Square, might face scrutiny.
The fraud trial of Jude Okoye, former manager of the defunct music group SK Square, and his company Northside Music Limited, has been stalled at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. The Nigeria — Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Jude Okoye and Northside Music Limited on a seven-count charge for alleged N1.3 billion and $1 million fraud. The trial was adjourned to September 21, 2026, due to the absence of Mr. P (singer), a key prosecution witness and Jude Okoye's younger brother, who was scheduled for cross-examination. Mr. P (singer)'s counsel claimed his flight from Abuja was rescheduled, but the defense counsel disputed this, alleging Mr. P (singer) was already in Lagos.
