The lawmaker, who represents Epe Constituency II at the Assembly, described the incident as “unfortunate’’.
“The death of Henrietta came as a rude shock. Receiving the news of her death yesterday came as a shock.
“It is very unfortunate and saddening that she had to die at a time when the family still wants her very much around.
“This is a woman who has played a vital role in the development of the entertainment industry in Nigeria. I am very sure that Nollywood will miss her expertise.
