The final journey of Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba will begin on Thursday as her family prepares to lay her to rest in Iperu Remo, Ogun State.

The burial arrangements were announced by the family following the earlier postponement of her funeral, which had initially been scheduled for August 13.

According to the latest programme, Osoba’s remains will leave the Ogun State University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, at 9am on Thursday for the burial service at Akesan Club, opposite Iperu Morning Market, Iperu Remo.

The family stated, “Body leaves OSUTH Sagamu by 9am. Burial service Thursday 10th of September, 10:00am–11:00am, Akesan Club opposite Iperu Morning Market, Iperu Remo.”

The interment will follow immediately at the Iperu Remo Cemetery, while mourners have been asked to appear in white.

The actress’ death sent shockwaves through the Yoruba film industry, where she had built a career spanning nearly two decades as an actress and producer.

Her passing also generated considerable public attention following differing accounts surrounding the circumstances of her death.

Her fiancé, Prophet Itunu Onadeko, had alleged that she died after she was taken to a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos. The family, however, disputed aspects of the account, leading to calls from some industry stakeholders for the circumstances surrounding her death to be properly established.

Actor Yomi Fabiyi was among those who called for an investigation and autopsy.

As preparations for the burial resume, colleagues, friends, fans and family members are expected to gather in Ogun State to pay their final respects to the actress, whose death has left a notable void in the Yoruba movie industry.
