Nollywood Mourns: Actress Temitope Osoba Set For Final Burial August 13

The family of late Nollywood actress, Temitope Osoba, has announced plans for her burial and other funeral activities following her death.

According to a notice shared on the actress’ official Instagram page on Friday, Osoba will be laid to rest on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at Saint James Anglican Church, Iperu Remo, Ogun State.

The family also announced white as the dress code for mourners attending the funeral service.

Ahead of the burial, friends and colleagues of the actress have scheduled a candlelight procession and artistes’ night in her honour.

The event, tagged “An Evening of Love, Music & Memories,” will take place on Tuesday, August 11, at LTV 8 Blueroof, Ikeja, Lagos.

The memorial is expected to attract members of Osoba’s family, Nollywood colleagues, friends and fans who will gather to celebrate her life and career.

Osoba’s death was announced on Wednesday by fellow actor Alesh Sanni, who described her as his “dearest sister.”

The actress was known for her roles in Yoruba-language Nollywood productions.

Her death came about two years after she publicly revealed that she was undergoing treatment for cancer and appealed for support.

After undergoing treatment, Osoba announced her return to acting in August 2025, describing her experience as one that renewed her commitment to healing and advocacy.

Following reports linking her death to her previous health condition, the family urged the public to refrain from speculating about the circumstances surrounding her passing.

The family described reports concerning the cause of her death as unauthorised and appealed to members of the public to respect its privacy as relatives and loved ones mourn her.
