Estate of Late Ras Kimono Issues Warning Over Fraudulent Sale of Property in Ogun State

RAS KIMONO PROPERTY IS NOT FOR SALE!

The family and authorized representatives of the Estate of the late Ras Kimono have issued a formal warning to the general public regarding a fraudulent property transaction involving land belonging to the deceased.

It has come to the attention of the Estate that one Sybil Amuta, also known as Sybil Onwubuya Ekure, has been falsely presenting herself as the lawful wife of the late Ras Kimono and, under this misrepresentation, has purportedly sold one plot of land from the Estate’s property located in Ota, Ogun State.

The said transaction, reportedly concluded on March 17, 2026, involved the sale of the plot for ₦15,000,000 (Fifteen Million Naira), with payment made into an account bearing the name Sybil Onwubuya Ekure.

The Estate wishes to state unequivocally that:
• Sybil Amuta (aka Sybil Onwubuya Ekure) is the former spouse of the deceased, with their marriage having been legally dissolved in August 2005.
• At the time of his passing, the late Ras Kimono was legally married to Ms. Cynthia Dumas (since 2007).
• The said individual has no legal authority or mandate to act on behalf of the Estate or to dispose of any of its assets.

As such, the purported sale of the property is unauthorized, invalid, and of no legal effect.

It is therefore particularly concerning that this same Sybil who funds were raised for in the United States of America to facilitate her and her children’s attendance for their father’s funeral which never happened after she pocketed the funds and never showed up for her supposed “husband’s” funeral neither has she or any of her children visited the burial site of our late father comes back several years after his demise to lay claim to and dispose off property forming part of the Estate which the family intends to preserve and develop in honour of his memory and legacy.

The Estate further warns that there are indications the said individual may attempt to sell the remaining plot of land, and all prospective buyers, agents, and members of the public are strongly advised to refrain from entering into any transaction with her regarding any property belonging to the Estate.

Any person or entity engaging in such dealings does so at their own risk and may be subject to legal proceedings, including recovery actions and claims for damages.

The Estate remains committed to protecting the legacy and assets of the late Ras Kimono and will pursue all necessary legal remedies against any unauthorized dealings.

Kimono is actually a type of Japanese dress

He had such a complex family life yet did not leave a will

Keep resting... Ayaga yaga-yaga yoo...

Sleep well Ras Kimono. Man was a big-time Rasta 💯🫡🇳🇬 We called him da Rub-a-Dub Master.

Thought I read somewhere that his legal wife, Efemena Okedi, died 3 months after her husband, Ras kimono's passing in 2018. What a complex family structure! And no will!

Lawyers in Nigeria has made making a will very difficult.

Most lawyers demand between 12% -25% of your wealth.

Is it not better to leave the children fight for survival than allow ori-olori acquire 20percent of my wealth in d name of WILL

Even in Death the dude is still under pressure..

Na wah ooo

Then share your own family structure that you claim is simple

Aroma stylée, stylée. Gone are those days, nostalgie feelings . They should allow him to rest peacefully.

Get all the property in the world, last last dem go sell everything.

Land and house no get permanent owner.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah. He knew that.

"Ras Kimono" means "Mr. Kimono" and he sometimes wore a kimono to perform.

As long as he is legally divorced with her, even if there is no will, she has no right to the property and can't claim joint ownership, for the dissolution would have shared any asset between them, so none would have any future hold over the other

And you know that the justice system in Nigeria is highly corrupt. The lawyer might not even be able to execute the will after all that or in some cases work in cahoots with the 'other side' should a contest arise.

Best way is to live a simple life. Cross your 'T''s and dot your 'i's while you are still standing.

You will be surprised what people can do with a wack judiciary. It is better for a man to make a 'living will'. That is to share all your estate while still alive. Know who it is going to, change the ownerships but hold the 'keys' as it were.

The same Sybil who everyone knew as his wife of too many years. They made wealth together as everyone knew and faced their challenges together. They separated after some dispute, the man remarried, left the same Sybil and children in America. He remarried two years later and not long after passed on. One daughter appears from somewhere and says “one Sybil”. The new wife out of nowhere claims the properties. The property purchased in Sango several years ago, maybe at ten thousand naira per plot. Money don come plenty with the new land rates.

The wahala no be here.

Oge, the daughter was my classmate in secondary school. You can't know the family more than the family.

Where in Ota? I fit help am monitor the land

Lol! Na fight? This post just confirmed that he had at least 3 wives. One abroad being disclaimed. A living one and a deceased one. A Will or legal division of assets would have made things easier.

Smh.
It is not as straight as that sir

For the fact that she had children for you and you did not leave a will, it is a recurrent expense for life.

This is how the system makes it expensive for difficult couples to divorce.

That's why it's good to have a will

Whata gwan inna dis a country

Aroma stylee 🎶, what nostalgia!

For the fact that this estate has remained intact for this long means his left behind children aren't suffering; they would have scrambled for it out of poverty.

That's why I used the word legal dissolution. The dissolution would have considered the children, according to the report, she sold the property, not the children (I believed any children from that dissolved relationship is already above 18yrs now), so the judge that dissolved the marriage wouldn't have put any of the two parties in a position to hold the other to ransom in future.
Probably the marriage dissolution then was "I no do again, me too no do again, oya carry your bag and go"

I see what you did there.

Women are funny. You where divorce with papers yet u still went ahead to sell your former husband's property.

Warning

As a musician know what you sing so that after you demise your song will not happen to you.

Long time after his demise his family is still under pressure.

And if Oge was you classmate, your thought is that no one else followed Kimono, his marriage to Sybil and his family except you and Oge?

Or you think that there should be no one else who should have ideas or share opinion about the life and times of Kimono except you and whoever you choose to name?

Not true. In fact you don't need a lawyer to draft a will. You can draft one yourself. Just get and pay a notary public to notarize it for you. Shikena. You only pay the notary a one-off flat fee. The Will becomes legally enforceable.
