Jide Kosoko Banned From Burying Wife In Lagos

The funeral service for late Henrietta Emumeakpor-Kosoko which was scheduled for Regina Mundi, Mushin, Lagos has been cancelled, her remains will also not be interred at Atan Cemetery, Yaba, Lagos as earlier released by the burial committee.

According to one of the members of the committee, the reason for the cancellation of the funeral arrangement was due to the fact that the Henrietta’s family from Delta State insisted that their daughter be buried at home.

The family of the late actress does not recognize Jide Kosoko as her husband, hence their decision to take charge of her funeral. An eye witness was reported to have said;

"Henrietta is an 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. He met her here in Lagos and they got married and never made any attempt to go the village with her to do the needful. Because of this, her family doesn’t see him as their in-law."

“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, Henrietta Kosoko’s remains will now be moved to her hometown in Delta State tomorrow morning for burial."
