Jide Kosoko has come to grip with what just happened to him during the wake keep of his late wife, Henrietta Kosoko on Thursday, June 9, at LTV 8 premises in Agidingbi, lkeja , Lagos.
The actress who died suddenly in the morning of Monday, June 6 was honoured by a lot of celebrities during the wake keep. Her burial will no longer hold in Lagos. Henrietta’s family from Delta state insisted that she must not be buried outside.
Jide said “You can know I feel,I don’t need to tell you before you know it’s painful. It’s painful losing her at this moment because we have a long term plan for each other. She was my very good wife and mother of my children. I will surely miss her. Her death was shocking and very painful.”
Henrietta and Jide first met and fell in love when the veteran actor and his group came to show a film in her (Henrietta) neighbourhood- Mushin, Lagos. Although, Henrietta was acting before she met Jide Kosoko, he was the one who encouraged her to go into it on full-time basis. The plus-size actress had a set of twins, Taiye (a pop act known as LT) and Kehinde Olowu from a previous marriage.
A member of the burial committee said “It’s true that Henrietta’s remains will no longer be buried in Lagos. Her siblings and other members of her family have insisted they’re not burying her in Lagos as earlier planned by Jide Kosoko. I learnt the issue didn’t go down well with Jide Kosoko but there’s nothing he could do to resist that.”
