We earlier reported that late Henrietta Kosoko’s funeral that was scheduled to hold today at Atan Cemetery, Yaba, Lagos has been canceled.
It was gathered that her family does not recognize Prince Jide Kosoko as her husband, hence their decision to demand that their daughter’s body be return to Delta state for burial.
According to a source close to the family, ‘Henrietta is Urhobo woman from Delta state, where they cherish their culture. Jide Kosoko didn’t go to her family house in Delta to pay her dowry’.
The source added: ‘He met her here in Lagos and they got married and never made any attempt to go to the village with her to do the needful. Because of this, her family doesn’t see him as their in-law.’
Another source close to the Kosoko family also confirmed that the late actress will be buried in Delta saying, ‘Her family has kicked against our initial plans to bury her here in Lagos. They said it’s against their culture. So we had no choice than to obey want they want.’
Henrietta who last week celebrated her 53rd birthday was said to have slumped and died on Monday, June 6. Her remains will be moved to her hometown in Delta State today for burial.
