Wife of Ras Kimono, the late popular reggae artiste, Efemena Okedi,has been announced dead.
According to reports, 42-year-old whose death came three weeks after her husband, complained of chest pain on Sunday morning and was rushed to the Lagos State Teaching Hospital, LASUTH where she died.
Okedi, who was said to be the third wife of the late music legend, was also his manager and a member of his band during his lifetime.
Ras Kimono’s brother-in-law, Theophilus Ehizibue, who confirmed the incident, noted that, she died from a possible heart attack. “She died this morning (Sunday) around 5.30am at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital. She was not sick and never complained of any pain prior to that time. We suspect it was a heart attack. It may also have something to do with the death of her husband because they were very close.
“She was at my birthday on Saturday, which we celebrated at the Elegushi Bar Beach.
“She was in good spirit and nothing was wrong with her until this morning when I was called that she had a chest pain. I told them to take her to a hospital. I had gone to meet them at the hospital when I was told she was dead,” he said.
