Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba has died following a prolonged battle with cancer.

The actress passed away on Tuesday evening, nearly two years after undergoing breast cancer surgery.

Her death was announced on Wednesday by her close associate and fellow actor, Alesh Ola Sanni, in a heartfelt Instagram post.

“Couldn’t sleep since last night. It’s well. Rest in peace, my dearest sister Temitope Osoba. We had amazing times and good memories together. Till we meet again. I really don’t know what to say. Mehn, gosh,” he wrote.

Osoba had publicly appealed for financial assistance in November 2024 to undergo a second surgery as part of her cancer treatment.

Her passing has sparked an outpouring of grief from colleagues, fans and members of the Nigerian entertainment industry, who have taken to social media to pay tribute to the late actress and celebrate her life and career.
