Published

Popular singer, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, has said his twin brother Peter Okoye, aka Mr P, was behind his recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

In a recent interview with City FM, Lagos, Rudeboy said Mr P wrote a petition to the anti-graft agency to invite him over alleged fraudulent dealings.

He said that despite the EFCC clearing him of all allegations after a thorough investigation, his twin brother refused to apologise over the false accusations.

“This year, I was invited by the EFCC after they received a petition against me from my twin brother. I never thought it [our beef] would get to this extent. I thought it was just music,” he said.

“The next thing, people are asking me, ‘What do you do?’ Somebody said, ‘You’re going to go to jail for 20 years. They’re going to lock you up.’ I got to the EFCC office, they told me everything. They’ve already printed all my account statements. They asked me to explain every transaction.

“First of all, what entered my mind was, what if I was into fraud? That’s how my brother would have finished me? But I took it. Then they started the investigation. At a point, I was no longer comfortable with the kind of questions they were asking me. When I knew it was serious was when they asked me to get a lawyer and sureties. I did everything.

“One month ago, they called me, my twin brother and our elder brother [Jude Okoye], and said, ‘First of all, we have to say that after all investigations, Paul is innocent. Paul is cleared. Everything you accused him of, we’ve done our investigation and he’s innocent.’

“Despite the fact that I was proven innocent, my twin brother didn’t apologise for the false accusations,” he narrated.

Published

By

Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has reunited with his mother, Rose Idibia, following a concerning period when he was declared missing.

Back in February, the Idibia family had petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS), raising an alarm that the singer had been unaccounted for since February 10.

Reports at the time indicated that 2Face had left his residence dressed in lounge wear and had not been seen since then.

However, a recently surfaced video captures a cheerful moment as 2Face reunites with his mother and other family members.

Notably, Natasha Osawaru, the singer’s new partner, was also present, hinting that the earlier family tensions might have subsided.

Earlier in the year, in February, Rose Idibia had openly objected to her son’s relationship with Natasha.

She had pleaded with Natasha to stay away from him and insisted she remove the beads tied around 2Face’s hands and neck, hinting that the singer was not acting “of his own free will.”

In response, Natasha had defended the use of the beads, clarifying that they were cultural symbols tied to her royal lineage.

2Face and Natasha’s relationship first drew public attention in January when the artist confirmed their union, shortly after revealing his separation from Annie Idibia. He proposed to Natasha around that time, stressing that their relationship had no link to his breakup with Annie.

Adding to the growing signs of commitment, Natasha recently updated her Instagram biography to include 2Face’s surname, suggesting a stronger bond between them.

2Face and his fiancée, Natasha Osawaru — who is also a member of the Edo State House of Assembly — had formalised their union through a traditional ceremony.

In a viral video from the event, the couple was seen surrounded by a large gathering of guests. Natasha, donning a traditional Idoma outfit with a scarf covering her face, was captured approaching 2Face’s family.
