While commiserating with the mother of MOHBAD, Mrs Adebose Oluniyi, Abbo noted further that “the death of your son will be properly investigated and thorough prosecution will be done and any one found guilty will be made to face the law no matter how highly placed”

According to Abbo who is also Vice Chairman, Senate committee on Youths “When we heard of your son’s death and the controversy or circumstances that appeared on social media, we feel it is important to come here and condole with your family and see you

“”The government will never abandoned her citizen. This current administration has created a ministry, that is the ministry of arts, culture and creative economy and Mohbad was a major player in the creative economy of this country. So when his death came up the senate feels concerned on the interest Nigerians have in this matter.

Senator Abbo called on the Youth population to be patient and calm, rather than invollve in violent protest

Said Abbo “” I am calling on the Nigerian youths especially those who love him, Mohbad was out friend, our brother, don’t take to the street, believe me I will never be quite when I see a youth being destroyed.

” If you take to the street some people who do not love us will hijack it. Because I believe Mohbad won’t be happy to see that someone died on his name.

” I didn’t come alone I came with some major players.
Mum we are with you, the FG is with you. When you say that somebody is threatening you don’t be afraid nobody should leave in fear.

” The same freedom the president enjoys is what you enjoy. So don’t be afraid. I will relate this to the senate and I will call the IG and tell him these things that there is a threat somewhere. Nobody will threaten you.
“The Senate just passed a bill and it has scaled third reading we have also done public hearing about setting up a fund for victims of such incidences where the families can benefit like the end SARS victims and other victims of violence.

The FG is interested in setting up the fund. Creative industry is a very big one, it is a multi-billion economy and I am sure the current administration will ensure that the sector has a conducive atmosphere where they can practice.

“”I have received petitions from Nigerians calling for either creative economy or entertainment economy commission where dispute that rises between record labels and their signees would be settled.

“When we have this commission, nobody will start taking things into their own hands. But this doesn’t exist now in this country and I am assuring you that the senate of the 10th assembly in collaboration with the minister for creative economy will come up with a commission to be called creative economy commission.
