Friends and colleagues of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba will gather on Tuesday, August 11, for a candlelight and artiste night in her honour.

The event, tagged 'An Evening of Love, Music & Memories', is scheduled to hold at LTV 8, Blueroof, Ikeja, Lagos, beginning at 5pm.

The organisers announced the tribute in a flyer shared on Osoba's official Instagram page on Friday, describing it as a celebration of her life, creativity and contribution to the arts. "Her voice, her art, her spirit… will remain in our hearts," the flyer read.

Her passing has sparked an outpouring of grief from fans and colleagues across social media.
