The family of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba has announced that she will be buried on Thursday, August 13, 2026, in Ogun State.
According to a funeral notice shared on the actress’ official Instagram page on Friday, the burial service will be held at Saint James Anglican Church, Iperu Remo, Ogun State.
The family also requested that mourners wear white to the funeral service as they gather to bid the actress a final farewell.
The burial announcement comes days after colleagues and friends of Osoba announced plans for a special tribute event in her honour.
The candlelight and artiste night, themed “An Evening of Love, Music & Memories”, is scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, at LTV 8, Blueroof, Ikeja, Lagos.
Osoba died at the age of 40, with news of her death announced on Wednesday by fellow actor Alesh Sanni, who described her as his “dearest sister”.
The actress was known for her appearances in Yoruba-language Nollywood productions, where she built a reputation through several acting roles.
Osoba had also been open about her health challenges, particularly her battle with cancer.
In August 2025, she announced her return to acting after undergoing treatment, saying the experience had strengthened her commitment to healing and advocacy.
Her death has since prompted tributes from colleagues, friends and admirers across the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Following her passing, the family appealed to the public to disregard speculation about the circumstances surrounding her death.
The family also requested privacy as it comes to terms with the loss.
The August 11 tribute night in Lagos and the August 13 funeral in Iperu Remo are expected to provide opportunities for colleagues, friends, fans and loved ones to honour the actress and celebrate her life and career.
