Veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, is mystified at the death of his wife, Henrietta, which occurred on Monday.
The deceased, also an actress, is the third wife the thespian would be losing to the cold hand of death.
Speaking in an interview with Encomium at his Bariga residence in Lagos, Kosoko confessed that he is puzzled at the loss of another wife.
He also confirmed that he learned about the death from a third party.
Hear him: “I went to a particular event on Monday (June 6), I was not aware that my wife was dead until the person that was with me asked me to check the rumours flying around the social media about my wife’s death.
“I referred to it as rumour because I still didn’t believe, if not until I confirmed it myself.”
“I don’t know how to explain the situation. It is an unimaginable loss. Third wife! Won’t the world count the numbers of wives I have lost?”
Attention-seeking social media commentator, Kemi Olunloyo, had on Tuesday questioned Kosoko over the death of his three wives.
According to her, the former Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (ANTP) president should be investigated for what she described as “ritualism and the occult world”, something she said is “very prevalent in Nollywood.”
Henrietta will be buried at the Atan Cemetery, Yaba in Lagos on Friday after a requiem mass at the Regina Mundi Catholic Church in Mushin.
