Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba to be buried Thursday

Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba will be laid to rest in Iperu Remo, Ogun State, on Thursday, September 10, 2026.

Her family made the announcement in an obituary shared on the actress’ Instagram page on Monday.

According to the funeral arrangements, Osoba’s remains will leave the Ogun State University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, at 9am.

The burial service is scheduled to take place between 10am and 11am at Akesan Club, located opposite Iperu Morning Market in Iperu Remo.

The actress’ family urged friends, colleagues and loved ones to join them as they bid her farewell.

The obituary stated, “Body leaves OSUTH Sagamu by 9am. Burial service Thursday 10th of September, 10:00am–11:00am, Akesan Club opposite Iperu Morning Market, Iperu Remo.”

It added, “Interment: Iperu Remo Cemetery ground, immediately after burial service,” while the dress code was stated as “White.”

Osoba, also known as Tope Osoba, died in early August 2026 at the age of 40.

The Yoruba-language actress and producer had been in the Nigerian film industry for nearly two decades and featured in productions including Oogun Mi.

Very Nigerian had reported that Osoba had publicly battled breast cancer about two years before her death and had sought support for treatment and surgery.

In August 2025, she announced her recovery and return to acting, describing the period as one of healing, rebranding and empowerment.

The circumstances surrounding her death, however, have remained disputed, with conflicting accounts from her fiancé and members of her family.

Her fiancé, Prophet Itunu Onadeko, claimed that she died after being taken to a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos, while relatives gave a different account of her final hours. Very Nigerian reported that the conflicting accounts had raised questions about the events leading to her death.

Yomi Fabiyi had also called for an investigation and autopsy to establish the circumstances surrounding the actress’ death.

Following her death, the family warned against the circulation of unverified claims about the circumstances surrounding her demise and urged the public and media to rely on information released through its official channels.

Her burial was initially scheduled for August 13 in Iperu Remo but was later postponed indefinitely by the family.
