What was widely mourned as a tragic end to a cancer battle has now exploded into a full-blown controversy, as Prophet Itunu Onadeko, fiancé of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba, drops a shocking allegation—claiming the actress died inside a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos.
The explosive claim directly contradicts the dominant narrative that Osoba succumbed to complications from breast cancer—a story that had gained rapid traction across media platforms and social conversations.
But according to Onadeko, that narrative is not just inaccurate it may be a smokescreen.
Speaking in a tense and emotional account, the cleric revealed that the news of Osoba’s death did not come through official or family channels, but via a mysterious late-night phone call from an unknown individual.
«“It was a random person that called me around midnight that she died in a police station in Ikorodu,” he stated.»
That single revelation has now thrown the entire case into disarray.
While acknowledging that Osoba had previously battled breast cancer, Onadeko firmly insists that her illness had nothing to do with her sudden death raising the possibility that the public may have been fed a convenient narrative while more troubling facts remain buried.
Even more alarming is the absence of clarity around the alleged police facility. Onadeko admits he does not know the exact station, but said he immediately rushed to a nearby police station upon receiving the call only to be met with uncertainty.
As of press time, the Nigeria Police Force has yet to issue any official response to the allegation.
The silence is deafening.
If proven true, the implications are severe and far-reaching:
– Why was a Nollywood actress allegedly in police custody?
– Under what conditions did she die?
– Who made the anonymous call—and why?
– And crucially, is there an ongoing attempt to rewrite the narrative of her death?
What began as a story of illness has now spiraled into a potential scandal involving law enforcement, unanswered questions, and a growing demand for accountability.
Across the country, voices are beginning to call for an independent investigation to uncover the truth behind Osoba’s final hours.
Until then, one question hangs heavily in the air:
Was Temitope Osoba’s death misrepresented—and if so, who is hiding the truth?
