Mabel Oboh Receives AJ Entertainers To Late Mighty Mouse’s Family

On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, the family of the late John Oboh, popularly known as Mighty Mouse and the creator of the AJ music genre was honored with a condolence visit by renowned Ajegunle musicians led by Baba Fryo.

Recall that Ajegunle City’s Musical Pioneer, Mighty Mouse, who died of cancer on September 18, 2023, is credited with developing the AJ music genre, which is now played in several dimensions.

Mighty Mouse’s two sisters, Mabel Oboh and Josephine Oboh-Macleod, as well as his three children, Beracca, Judah, and Akhere Oboh, were on the ground to greet the amazing performances.

Mabel Oboh, a former governorship candidate for Edo 2020 on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), addressed on behalf of the family and praised the artists for paying honor to their teacher, Mighty Mouse.

Mabel Oboh, the ADC party’s National Publicity Secretary, took the opportunity to thank Baba Fryo and the other AJ artists for the noble wake they held for their late brother, John Oboh before he was buried.

She also expressed the family’s gratitude to the musicians for the cash donation they provided to the children, noting that Ajegunle musicians, friends, and Mohammed Shuaibu’s extraordinarily nice gesture helped to boost fundraising for the children in no small way.

According to Mabel, our brother’s passing affected not just the family but also the entertainment business as a whole.

“We are all grieved by my brother’s passing, but I have faith that God will eventually heal us all. My promise to AJ musicians is that I will keep helping the genre flourish both in Nigeria and internationally.

“My late brother, John Oboh, who created the AJ music genre, had always been passionate not only about the growth of AJ music, but about the Ajegunle people as well,” she said.

In her remarks, Josephine Oboh-Macleod, the late John Oboh’s eldest sibling, thanked the Ajegunle musicians for staying with the family after their mentor John Oboh died.

Oboh-Macleod, a politician, cultural champion, and artist from the United Kingdom who traveled from Scotland for the occasion, expressed his appreciation for their participation in John Oboh’s funeral.

Baba Fryo, who spoke on behalf of the musicians, stated that everyone in Nigeria’s music industry will miss Mighty Mouse and that his death has left a gap.

The ceremony was attended by John Dada, Sir Bog, Long John, Marvelous Benji, Lady Jairo, Daddy Hyde, Barrister Charles, and other Ajegunle pals of Mighty Mouse.
