Singer Esther Akoth aka Akothee and her family are in mourning following the untimely demise of her sister-in law (wife to her brother).
In an update, the self-proclaimed President of single mothers disclosed that her sister-in law passed on over the weekend, remembering how the news was delivered to her by her younger sister Cebbie Kokeyo in a 6am call.
She added in the past three years, her family has faced it rough following back to back deaths of their relatives.

Akothee’s younger sister Elseba Awuor Kokeyo, popularly known as Cebbie koks Nyasego also mourned her sister-in-law saying “
“Death sounds so abstract not until it knocks their. It doesn’t give a warning
It doesn’t tell when it comes. When we are taken Ill, we all hope to heal and praise his name as we rejoice in happiness. The opposite is welcome with sheer sorrows. Sheer fear and agony. Ultimate fear of humans of all kind. But God doesn’t want us to live in fear nor defeat. He wants us to live and die in confidence that comes from knowing we belong to the victorious . It’s a road we are all made for. Gone too soon. May your soul Rest In Peace jaber Min Maraga..”
In August last year, Akothee and her family lost yet another sister-in-law whom they identified Mama Brian.
In 2018, the Oyoyo hit-maker lost her two brothers (Owino and Otieno), who perished in a road accident. Prior to that, Akothee had also lost her grandfather James Ogendi Oyieko.
