Nigerian Movie Star Tope Osoba Dies After Battle With Cancer

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

A Nigerian actress, Temitope Osoba, fondly called Tope Osoba by her fans, has reportedly passed away.

She died barely a year after she survived a battle with breast cancer, reports say.

The 41-year-old entertainer left the acting world to cater to her health, but returned shortly after she had a successful treatment in 2025.

The movie producer, however, has not been very active in the past months, ostensibly due to her health.

Her demise has come as a shock to some of her colleagues and admirers, as she was very lively during her lifetime.

Details about the unfortunate incident, which became known to her fans on Wednesday morning, have not been given by her family.
