Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba has died following a prolonged battle with breast cancer.
The actress passed away on Tuesday evening, nearly two years after undergoing surgery for the disease.
Her death was announced on Wednesday morning by her close associate and colleague, actor Alesh Ola Sanni, in a heartfelt post on Instagram.
Expressing his grief, Sanni wrote: “Couldn’t sleep since last night it’s well rest in peace my dearest sister Temitope Osoba we had amazing time and good memories together till we meet again. I really dunno what to say mehn gosh.”
Osoba had publicly appealed for financial assistance in November 2024 to undergo a second breast cancer surgery after revealing the challenges she faced in her treatment.
Her appeal attracted sympathy from fans and colleagues in the Nigerian entertainment industry, many of whom rallied support for her medical care.
Her death has since sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow actors, who have continued to mourn her passing and celebrate her contributions to Nollywood.
