Jide Kosoko’s third wife’s death On June 6, 2016, Henrietta was reported to have slumped at her home and died shortly after.
Was it as a result of complications from the accident or was it connected the actress’ long battle with diabetes? Jide Kosoko, the actress’ husband, was finding it difficult to recover from the shock of his wife’s death.
During an interview with Encomium Magazine, he said: “The Kosoko families are not in a good mood to address the press as you can see. I will be glad if you can suspend your activities until the family is ready to attend to the press.”

The saddest aspect was that Jide was not even around when his wife died and found out only when his friend told him to check the news on the Internet. The actor mentioned that he thought it was only a rumour circulating on the Internet, at first, and could only believe it when he saw what happened with his own eyes.
