Why Henrietta Kosoko’s Family Members Stopped Her Lagos Burial From Happening

The funeral service for late Henrietta Kosoko nee Emumeakpor was meant to hold today 10th June, 2016 at Regina Mundi, Mushin,Lagos but it has been cancelled.

Encomium has revealed that her remains will also not be interred at Atan Cemetery,Yaba,Lagos, as against plans made public by the burial committee.

One members of the committee who spoke to Encomium pleading anonymity said the reason for the cancellation of the Lagos funeral arrangement was not unconnected with the fact that Henrietta’s family from Delta state insisted that their daughter must not be buried outside her homestead .

“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”, the source said.

Further digging by other media sources revealed that Henrietta’s family is disrupting the burial due to things unattended to during her wedding.

A source close to the family disclosed that the late actress’ family does not recognize Jide Kosoko as her husband, hence their decision to take over the burial.

 

The person stated, “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”.

He continued: ‘He (Jide) 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.’

 

The source further revealed that even when Henrietta passed on, the family did not call to inform him, he got to know when the news surfaced online.

A source in close contact with Jide Kosoko 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 Kosoko’s remains will now be taken to her hometown in Delta State today where her final resting place will be.
