Foluke Daramola Weeps Over Temitope Osoba’s Death
Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola has expressed deep sorrow following the death of her junior colleague, Temitope Osoba.
In an emotional Instagram post, the Yoruba actress hared a flyer of the late actress, revealing that the reality of the loss has finally hit her.
Daramola admitted that she has been unable to hold back tears, describing the pain of losing Tope as overwhelming.
She wrote:
“Temitope goes home.
I don’t know why I can’t stop crying.
It’s just dawning on me, my baby is gone.”
Refreshing your memory, Temitope Osoba first revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in late 2024 after discovering a lump during a self-examination. Initially, doctors assured her nothing was wrong, attributing the lump to her childbearing age. However, when the lump grew larger, further tests confirmed it was breast cancer.
She underwent her first surgery in November 2024, but doctors recommended a second procedure to remove remaining cancer cells, with the total treatment cost estimated at N12 million.
Her colleague, Foluke Daramola, helped amplify her appeal for financial support, and donations came in to fund the initial procedure. By August 2025, Osoba announced she had overcome the disease, returning to acting and expressing gratitude for the support she received. She had been placed on radiation therapy and was declared cancer-free after follow-up scans showed the cancer had not spread.
