Prophet Itunu Onadeko, fiancé of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba, has claimed that the actress died at a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos State, contradicting widespread reports linking her death to complications from her previous battle with breast cancer.
Speaking in an interview with Celestial Reality Check, Onadeko said he received a midnight call from an unidentified person informing him that Osoba had died at a police station. He said he did not know the exact station but reported himself at a nearby police station after hearing the news.
The prophet also denied several allegations surrounding the actress’s final days, including claims that she was poisoned, maltreated or prevented from accessing her car.
He further rejected claims that money donated for Osoba’s cancer treatment was diverted or used to build his church, insisting that the funds were paid into her own account and that he never had access to them.
Onadeko acknowledged that Osoba had previously battled breast cancer and undergone surgery but maintained that the illness was not responsible for her death. He also disclosed that she had struggled with smoking and said he had encouraged her to quit.
According to him, Osoba had left his church about three weeks before her death, and he only contacted one of her uncles after learning of her passing.
Osoba, who was 40, is expected to be buried on Thursday, August 13, 2026, in Iperu Remo, Ogun State.
However, Onadeko’s claims have not been independently verified, and the exact circumstances and cause of Osoba’s death remain unclear.
