Mohbad: If you are into entertainment or business and you have no lawyer, it may cost you irreparable loss – Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong

Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has advised aspiring artists to consider having legal representation as an essential aspect of their careers. Effiong expressed the view that individuals involved in entertainment or any form of business without legal counsel were exposing themselves to significant risks that could result in irreversible losses.

He conveyed this message through a post on his verified social media platform X on Thursday.

This advice follows the recent passing of Nigerian singer and rapper Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad, who has been laid to rest in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

In a video making the rounds on social media, an elderly man, who is supposedly a family member, was captured saying the singer’s wife should not be trusted.

However, Effiong is of the view that upcoming artist should have and retain a lawyer as an integral part of their career.

He wrote, “As an upcoming artist, you should have and retain a lawyer as an integral part of your career.

“If you’re into entertainment or any business for that matter, and you do not have a lawyer, you’re taking a huge risk that may cost you irreparable loss.

“This advice has saved lives.”
