Mohbad, a former signee of Afeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, under the Marlians record label, was pronounced dead on September 12, 2023.
Abbo, on Thursday, paid a condolence visit to the family of the late artiste alongside Nollywood actresses, Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.
The senator, who also doubles as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Entertainment Economy, said that the Senate will look into the matter surrounding the death of the late artiste.
Abbo also pledged to spearhead the campaign for a Creative Economy Commission.
He added that the Senate has passed a Bill which has gone through the third reading.
He noted that the Bill, which has the backing of the presidency, seeks to set up funds for victims of “such instances where their families can benefit like the EndSARS victims or victims of violence or extremism.”
Abbo said, “I’m here to console the family. When we heard of your son’s death and the controversies that appeared on social media, we felt it was important that we come here to console your family.
He added that nobody is above the law, noting that the acting IG has ordered an investigation into the matter.
The senator assured that the Nigeria Police will prosecute anyone found guilty in the death of the late artiste.
He stressed the equality of people while advising the bereaved mother not to be fearful of any intimidation.
“No man should live in fear. We are all free people,” he stated.
He added that Nigerians have called for a commission within the creative industry “where disputes that arise between record labels and their signees will be settled.”
Earlier today, the Lagos State Police Command confirmed the exhumation of the corpse of the late singer.
The police also arrested the nurse who reportedly injected the deceased singer.
