The House of Representatives has summoned Naira Marley and Jiggy Adeoye, Mohbad’s manager to discuss the works of the late singer and ensure the protection of his rights.
VerseNews reports that the House, through its Committee on Justice, Youth, and Legislative Compliance, in a letter dated October 26, called for an interactive session scheduled to hold on November 3.
This move is aimed at securing proper compensation and royalties for the late music sensation Mohbad who died at age of 27 under unclear circumstances on September 12.
The House’s involvement in this matter was instigated by a motion sponsored by Rep. Babajimi Benson (APC-Lagos), who highlighted the need for a review of laws related to the entertainment industry and copyright.
He expressed concerns about the contracts and agreements that artists are often forced to sign.
During a plenary session debate on September 26, lawmakers emphasized their commitment to ensuring fair compensation and royalties for Mohbad’s musical works.
They also pledged to oversee the ongoing investigation into his death and the royalties due to him.
