“What a sad time for us. We have not come to terms with Ras Kimono’s death only to be shocked by the loss of his wife again.

“She was hail and hearty from my last observation and I had no reason to think that she will give up the ghost soon,” he said.

Olatilo said that he was deeply touched because of the six children that included a three-year-old daughter.

He prayed to God to give the family the fortitude to bear the loss and urged fans and friends to support the family in this time of their grief.

Also, Righteousman Erhabor, a singer popularly known as “Righteousman” said that he was speechless and was very sad about the news of her death.
