Confirming the death of Okedi, who is Kimono’s third wife, was head of the Copyright Society of Nigeria, Mr Chibueze Okeleke.

“We are so shocked to receive the news of Efe’s death this morning (Sunday). I was told that she attended a function yesterday and displayed no signs of ill health. She got home and after a while complained she was feeling funny. Sadly, she passed on before she could be rushed to the hospital. Efe and Ras Kimono were soul mates-it was impossible to see Kimono without seeing Efe by his side. She managed Kimono’s band and was an artiste turned artiste manager,” he told Premium Times.

Recall that Kimono died in June at the age of 60. The reggae icon was laid to rest on August 26 at his Onicha-Olona hometown in Aniocha North, Delta State.
