Temitope Osoba, a late Nollywood actress, died at a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos State, according to Prophet Itunu Onadeko, her fiancé.
Onadeko made the assertion on Saturday in an interview with the Celestial Church of Christ’s Media Investigative Unit, Celestial Reality Check.
However, the prophet denied allegations that the actress was poisoned or mistreated prior to her death, or that she died from complications related to cancer.
“It was a random person that called me around 12 am that she died in a police station in Ikorodu.”
“Although I don’t know the police station she died but I reported myself in a nearby one.”
“She had insisted to see Mrs Kehinde Osoba, she also has a church, although she said she wanted to see me too. When they left for there, I told them that I wasn’t chanced to go that day because of church programmes.
“The hairdresser that Tope was sleeping in her place was the person that went with her. We maintained communication and she even posted ‘Ogo tun tun’ until I heard that she died in the police station.”
The prophet also rejected allegations that he controlled money raised for Osoba’s cancer treatment or diverted donations towards the construction of his church.
“Who has an evidence that the money she got for her surgery is N30m? It wasn’t my account they sent the money to, it was hers. And I didn’t use the money to build church as rumoured. What I know is that people gave her money including Mike Adenuga who offered her a cheque. I never had access to her money.”
“I met Tope like two years ago and the church has been there since 20 years ago. The church is complete before she even joined us. It has been roofed and painted.
As different stories continue to emerge regarding the circumstances of her passing, one thing remains certain—may she rest in perfect peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones during this difficult time.
