The House of Representatives has taken a significant step in securing the musical rights of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, by summoning the controversial singer Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley.

The House Committee on Justice, Youth, and Legislative Compliance extended an invitation to Mohbad’s manager, Jiggy Adeoye, scheduling the appearance for October 31.

Mohbad, a former artist signed to Naira Marley’s record label, tragically passed away on September 12, 2023, under controversial circumstances.
