Henrietta and Jide kosoko
The first leg of her burial was held in Lagos while the main burial took place in Abraka, her hometown.
Contrary to reports making rounds that Prince Jide Kosoko did not perform her marriage rite thus the demand for her corpse by her family members, it was gathered that it is the culture of the Urhobo people where she hailed from to bring their daughters home for burial except the family says otherwise.
According to an inside source who preferred anonymity, “The late Henrietta Kosoko came from a staunch Christian home. They are strong Roman Catholic believers and even have a Reverend Father among them. We were received warmly especially by the Rev father and Aunty Rita. Aside confirming her corpse nobody touched nor brought her corpse out of the casket.
“Consequently, her corpse was taken away from Lagos and moved to her hometown in Abraka, Delta state. To avoid trouble, and then the veteran actor decided to stay away”.
“Jide Kosoko did not attend his late wife’s main burial in Delta. They have children together and it would have been wise the family allow him pay whatever they believe he did not pay when she was alive.’’
