Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The House of Representatives has summoned singer, Azeez Fashola, known by his stage name, Naira Marley, to appear before it.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The House, through its Committee on Justice, Youth, and Legislative Compliance, also invited Jiggy Adeoye, Mohbad\u2019s manager.<\/p>\n

The invitation to Mohbad\u2019s manager is to enable the lawmakers to have an interactive session scheduled for October 3.<\/p>\n

This comes as a bold step towards securing proper compensation and royalties for the late music sensation.<\/p>\n

Mohbad, a former signee of Naira Marley\u2019s record label, tragically passed away at the age of 27 under unclear circumstances on September 12.<\/p>\n

The House\u2019s decision to intervene in the matter was prompted by a motion sponsored by Rep. Babajimi Benson (APC-Lagos).<\/p>\n

Benson urged a review of the laws pertaining to the entertainment industry and copyright, expressing concerns about the contracts and agreements that artists were often compelled to sign.<\/p>\n

During the debate on the matter at the plenary session on September 26, the lawmakers had expressed their commitment to ensuring proper compensation and royalties for Mohbad\u2019s musical works.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers also pledged to monitor the ongoing investigation into his death and the royalties accruing to him.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated October 26, signed by the Committee\u2019s Clerk, Mr. Yusuf Ibrahim, the House formally summoned both Naira Marley and Mohbad\u2019s manager.<\/p>\n

This was to provide insights into the situation and guide the committee on potential legislative action.<\/p>\n

The letter was routed through the President of the Performing Musicians Associations of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
