The actor also spoke about his family life, revealing that getting married to another wife was not part of his original plan.
He explained that circumstances influenced his decision, while also acknowledging that his second wife has been supportive and caring.
He said: “I didn’t use my wife for ritual. Those accusing me should use their wives too. I don’t have a hand in my wife’s death. Those accusing me are unfortunate and useless people. I never wanted to marry a second wife. It was longer throat that made me do so, but I must admit, she is a good wife.”
Apart from discussing his personal life, Kosoko praised actress Funke Akindele for her approach to promoting her movies.
He noted that she introduced new ways of marketing films in cinemas, which later became common among other filmmakers.
