Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba has sadly died after a battle with cancer.
The actress passed away on Tuesday evening, nearly two years after undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
Her death was announced on Wednesday by her close associate and fellow actor, Alesh Ola Sanni, in an emotional Instagram post.
“Couldn’t sleep since last night. Rest well. Rest in peace, my dearest sister, Temitope Osoba. We had an amazing time and created wonderful memories together. Till we meet again. I really don’t know what to say. Gosh,” he wrote.
Reports in the local media indicate that Osoba appealed for financial assistance in November 2024 to undergo a second surgery after her condition worsened.
Her death has sparked an outpouring of grief from colleagues, fans and members of the Nigerian film industry, who have paid tribute to her life and contributions to Nollywood.
Temitope Osoba was known for her roles in several Yoruba-language films and was widely admired for her resilience during her public battle with cancer.
