Mrs Okoye (Psquare mum)Body Arrive From India

Mrs Josephine Okoye, the mother of Peter and Paul of P-Square has arrived Nigeria from India.

Publicist of P-Square, Square Image Associates (SIA)  said that Mrs Okoye’s corpse arrived Lagos yesterday morning from India, where she died.

Her remains, as we were told by SIA, has been deposited in a Lagos mortuary. We also confirmed that the families are still meeting on burial plans.

Mrs Josephine died on Wednesday, July 11, 2012, in an India hospital at about 11pm, as reported.

Her last publicised outing was in 2011 at the album launch of P-Square in Lagos. Mrs Okoye was reportedly influential in the career of her children.

REVEALED: PSQUARE’S MUM DIED 5 HOURS AFTER HEART SURGERY IN INDIA + PETER OKOYE SPEAKS

Josephine Okoye, the late mother of Psquare duo Peter and Paul Okoye had been ill for some time, and was operated on in an Indian hospital a few hours before she gave up the ghost.

Steff Gossip has confirmed that the deceased passed away about five hours after undergoing heart surgery.

A statement from Psquare’s publicist says ‘Josephine Okoye, who had battled with prolonged illness, passed away in an Indian hospital in Kolkata, last night July 11, 2012 at 11PM.’

Speaking to us at his residence, Peter Okoye said their late mother suffered from diabetes.

We’re told she had earlier been admitted to St. Nicholas hospital in Lagos, but was flown out of the country when her condition worsened.

The atmosphere at Squareville, the Omole Phase 1 home of the Okoye brothers – Peter, Paul and Jude, was somber, less than a day after the news broke.

Friends and colleagues of the award-winning singers have been visiting the house to commiserate with the family.

A condolence register has been opened, and some of those who paid early visits include their album marketer, T-Joe, producers Flip Tyce and Samklef and TV host Helen Paul-Bamisile.

While Peter Okoye opened up his doors to speak with us, Paul was not seen anywhere in the vicinity.

‘You know that she was a prayer warrior, so I don’t need to tell you how she stood by us spiritually. Besides, she was the only one that believed in us when we decided to make a career out of music.

I can remember that she used to sneak us out at night then to attend shows without the consent of our father who insisted that we must quit music to face our education’, Peter recounts.

She is survived by her Jos based husband, her children Ifeanyi, Henry, Jude, Lilian, Tony, Peter, Paul and Mary, as well as her grand-children, including Cameron, Peter’s son.
