Senator Elisha Abbo, along with Nollywood stars Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo, paid a visit to the family of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba.
News About Nigeria gathered that the visit took place in the Lekki area of Lagos State on Thursday, following questions and concerns about the circumstances of Mohbad’s passing.
During the visit, Senator Abbo assured Mohbad’s mother of protection and pledged to investigate the circumstances surrounding her son’s death.
Senator Abbo, who is also the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Entertainment Economy, expressed his commitment to spearheading the establishment of a Creative Economy Commission.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, had previously ordered a comprehensive investigation into Mohbad’s death, emphasising the need for a swift and thorough probe.
Also, the Lagos State Police Command has exhumed the corpse of late singer, Mohbad for autopsy.
