Senator Dino Melaye Reacts As Reggae Legend Ras Kimono Passes On

Senator Dino Melaye, the Senator representing Kogi West, in the Upper Chambers of the National Assembly, on Sunday reacted to the passing on of legendary reggae star, Ras Kimono.

Dino decided to share a photograph of himself and the late musician, and captioned the photo; “what a dark day”.

In a successive tweet that followed, Dino wrote, “Ras Kimono and myself in my village(Aiyetoro Gbede) on 31st December 2017. Legend is gone. What a dark day. RIP my brother and reliable friend.

“Death why! Why! My brother and my friend. Legend Ras Kimono rest in Peace. What a black day! What an unceremonious exit. I love you and will miss you. Sad sad sad.”

The passing away of the musician was reported on Sunday morning in Lagos.

Ras Kimono, who was known for the hit singles ‘Under pressure’ and ‘We no want,’ was scheduled to travel to the United States, on Saturday night, but complained of not feeling too well.

He was rushed to a hospital in Ikeja, Lagos, then later taken to Lagoon Hospital in the Island.

Music veterans, Tony Okoroji and Sir Shina Peters had confirmed the report.
