Nigeria’s lower chamber, the House of Representatives on Tuesday observed a minute silence in honour of the late Afrobeats singer and rapper, Ilerioluwa Pronise Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, who died exactly two weeks ago aged 27.
The lower chamber paid the homage to the Ekiti State-born artiste at the beginning of its executive session at the resumption of plenary in Abuja.
Following a motion of urgent importance by the member representing the Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Mr. Babajimi Benson, the House further resolved to monitor the investigation surrounding his death and royalties accruing to him.
Benson called for a review of relevant laws guiding the entertainment industry as well as copyright laws, while expressing concerns about the contracts and agreements that entertainers are compelled to sign.
It will be recalled that the Chairman Senate Committee on Creative Economy and Culture, Ishaku Elisha had last Thursday visited the family of the late singer in Lagos in company with some nollywood actors.
He too gave assurances that the Senate was interest in investigating the causes of the singer’s death and help bring to justice anyone found culpable.
