of the Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts
Practitioners, ANTP, Prince Jide Kosoko is
bereaved. He lost one of his wives, Henrietta to
the cold hands of death yesterday. She was aged
53. Henrietta, who was also an actress,
reportedly died yesterday morning after she
slumped at their home and was rushed to the
hospital where she was confirmed dead.
Confirming the death of their mother on their
father’s Facebook page, Sola Kosoko and her
sister, Bidemi wrote, “Henrietta Kosoko is dead.
We will miss you Mama. May your soul rest in
perfect peace.” Until death, Henrietta who
trained as a caterer before delving into acting
celebrated her 53rd birthday last week.
Sources close to her family said that before her
demise, she battled diabetes for a while, causing
her sugar level to flunctuate. Reacting to her
death, ANTP president, Comrade Victor Ashaolu
described Henrietta’s demise as “a big blow to us
in ANTP, and the film industry.”
Last year, she was involved in an accident along
Sagamu-Abeokuta road that almost claimed her
life. It would be recalled that Henrietta was
acting before she met her husband, but it was
Jide Kosoko who influenced her to go into acting
full time. She became famous in 1995, after she
played the lead role in the Yoruba movie
‘Omolade.”
