Jude Okoye, the former manager and elder brother of defunct music duo P-Square, has regained his freedom after over two months of incarceration at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre.
His release follows a series of legal battles with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which accused him of theft, criminal conversion, and money laundering involving over ₦1.38 billion.
On Wednesday evening, Jude was released from custody and reunited with his family in a low-key celebration.
His brother and close ally, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, confirmed the release in a series of Instagram stories showing Jude arriving home and embracing his wife and children.
In the caption, Paul wrote, “Jude is finally out after 2 months +… All their efforts to frustrate his bail have finally collapsed. Welcome home, brother. #judeengees. And happy birthday.”
The occasion, which also marked Jude’s birthday, was attended by a few close friends and celebrities, including video director Clarence Peters, former NFF President Amaju Pinnick, singer J. Martins, and actor Deyemi Okanlawon.
