JUST IN: Ajegunle music ‘Mighty Mouse’ dies

Late Mighty Mouse




The pioneer of Ajegunle Music, John Oboh, widely known as Mighty Mouse is dead.

Considered the godfather of music in the Ajegunle environs, Mighty Mouse died on Monday, September 18, in the metropolitan city after allegedly battling cancer.

His demise was confirmed by a close family member.

The AJ City musical patriarch produced the style of music presently regarded as Galala music.

Mighty Mouse in 1991 approached his sister, Mabel Oboh an actress and Talk Show host for financial assistance to establish Jahoha Studio, stating he had a dream about Ajegunle music.

According to his sister, Mighty Mouse explained that he needed to set up a studio and with it, he would be able to produce all AJ musicians.

And truly, when the studio opened, the artistes were trooping in to actualise their dreams.

In September 2017, the movement established by Mighty Mouse recognised Mabel Oboh for her role in grooming music stars at the Ajegunle to the World Concert in the jungle city. (The Nation)
