The late Efe was buried at exactly 10.45 am in a solemn mood amid tears from friends and family.
The officiating minister at the internment, Pastor Emmanuel Ajomafuwe, described the deceased as an epitome of love.
“Death is inevitable. It is the most grievous enemy of humans that can’t be killed. Our sister and mother has gone to rest with Christ Jesus,” he said.
“God wants us to live a life worthy of emulation like Okedi did,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that some members of Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria, were present to pay their last respects.

“It was very painful when I heard the news of her death. She was a very good friend and mother full of love and compassion,” he said.
Similarly, Sunny Igwe, a keyboard player in late Ras kimono’s band, described her as a good mother and manager.
“Her death is still a shock to me. She was caring and she guided me through many things.
“She was patient enough for me to learn most of the things I know in music today.
“Easy-going and humble, she was, and I don’t think there will be any other like her again. May her soul rest in perfect peace,” he said.
Her husband, Ras Kimono died after a brief illness and was laid to rest on August 28, in Asaba.
