The House of Representatives has summoned singer, Azeez Fashola, known by his stage name, Naira Marley, to appear before it.
This comes as part of efforts to address concerns surrounding the works of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad and ensure that his rights are upheld.
The House, through its Committee on Justice, Youth, and Legislative Compliance, also invited Jiggy Adeoye, Mohbad’s manager.
The House resolution followed the adoption of a motion moved by Babajimi Benson, the lawmaker representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Lagos State on Thursday.
Benson emphasised the need to review the laws governing the entertainment industry in a bid to safeguard artists’ copyrights and royalties.
Mohbad, a former signee on Naira Marley’s record label, died on September 12, 2023, in controversial circumstances. The Lagos State Government had since ordered a coroner’s inquest into the death of the 27-year-old singer.
