Popular Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba is dead.
Her death was announced on Wednesday by a fellow actor Alesh Sanni.
Her passing was announced in an emotional Instagram post on Wednesday.
Reacting to the loss, Sanni said he had been unable to sleep since hearing about Osoba’s death, describing her as a beloved sister with whom he shared cherished memories.
He 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’s death comes about a year after she returned to acting following her recovery from breast cancer.
In a video posted on Instagram in August 2025, she became emotional as she appreciated her fans, colleagues, and supporters for standing by her with prayers and encouragement throughout her battle with the disease.
She said the experience transformed her life, adding that it inspired her to rebrand her career and strengthened her determination to use her story to motivate others.
“Dear beloved fans, supporters, and loved ones, I’m Temitope Osoba, and after my cancer experience, I’m excited to announce my reintroduction.
“This journey has been a turning point, leading to my rebranding, reshaping, and rebuilding.
“I’m emerging stronger, more resilient, and more passionate about sharing my story and inspiring others, ” She said.
Osoba disclosed that she found a lump in her breast during a self-examination in late 2024.
Although an initial medical assessment suggested it was caused by hormonal changes, additional tests later confirmed it was cancer after the lump continued to grow.
She underwent surgery in November 2024 to remove the tumour, while doctors later advised her to undergo a second operation to eliminate the remaining cancer cells.
