The Nigerian film industry has been plunged into mourning following the death of popular Nollywood actress, Temitope Osoba, after a prolonged battle with cancer.
Her death comes nearly two years after she underwent surgery for breast cancer.
The sad news was confirmed on Wednesday morning by her close associate and colleague in the movie industry, actor Alesh Ola Sanni, who revealed that the actress passed away on Tuesday evening.
Expressing his grief in an emotional post on his Instagram page, Sanni wrote: “Couldn’t sleep since last night, it is well. Rest in peace my dearest sister Temitope Osoba. We had amazing time and good memories together till we meet again. I really do not know what to say.”
Her passing follows a publicly documented health challenge. In November 2024, the late movie star reached out to fans and the general public to solicit financial assistance to cover the cost of a second medical procedure.
Tributes have continued to pour in from fans, colleagues, and well-wishers across the country as the Nigerian entertainment sector reflects on the loss of another notable talent.
