One of the counts reads: “That you, Jude Okoye Chigozie and Northside Music Limited, sometime in 2022, in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did directly acquire a landed property known as No 5, Tony Eromosele Street Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos worth ₦850,000,000.00 (Eight Hundred and Fifty Million Naira only), which money you knew or reasonably ought to have known form part of proceeds of unlawful act and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18 (2) (d) and punishable under Section 18 (3) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.”

Upon his arraignment on February 26, 2025, Okoye pleaded “not guilty” to the charges when they were read to him

At the resumed sitting on Wednesday, the first prosecution witness – Peter Obumuneme Okoye, while being cross-examined by the defence counsel, Clement Onwuewunor SAN, said that he never signed any cheque and had no access to the accounts while still signed to Northside Entertainment.

Peter further told the court that, although he received some money from the Ecobank account of the company, they were not royalties because the account also received millions of dollars from endorsements and shows.

The music further that he never knew about the existence of his brother’s company, Northside Music Limited, until late 2022 and that he didn’t receive any proceeds from Lex Records all through his time at the company.
