Human Rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has criticized singer Peter Okoye (Mr P) for conducting a “social media trial” against his brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, noting that Peter’s public statements contradict his own admissions under cross-examination in ongoing court cases.

The human rights lawyer expressed concern that Peter—the nominal complainant in two active court cases—is actively leveraging digital platforms to influence public opinion while formal judicial processes remain unresolved before courts of competent jurisdiction.
According to Effiong, the narrative Peter is promoting online differs sharply from the verifiable admissions he has already made under sworn cross-examination in court.
