The fiancé of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba, Prophet Itunu Onadeko, has claimed that the actress died at a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos, while dismissing several rumours surrounding her death.
Key points
Onadeko claims Osoba died at a police station in Ikorodu.
He denied reports that she was poisoned, maltreated or that funds raised for her treatment were diverted.
He also disputed claims that her previous battle with breast cancer caused her death.
Onadeko made the claims during an interview while addressing speculation surrounding the actress' death at the age of 40.
According to him, Osoba's earlier battle with breast cancer was not responsible for her death, contrary to reports linking her passing to the illness.
He also rejected allegations that the actress was poisoned or subjected to mistreatment, as well as claims that money donated to support her cancer treatment was diverted.
The prophet said he received a phone call around midnight from an unidentified person informing him that Osoba had died at a police station in Ikorodu.
However, he said he could not identify the particular police station where the actress allegedly died.
Osoba had previously spoken publicly about her battle with breast cancer and the treatment she underwent.
Fiancé denies allegations of mistreatment
Onadeko also addressed claims that the actress had been prevented from driving before her death.
He disputed the allegation, saying Osoba was able to drive herself to Iperu shortly before she died.
He further denied claims that the actress was subjected to degrading treatment, including allegations that she was punished by having faeces or urine poured on her.
The comments come amid continuing questions and speculation surrounding the circumstances of the actress' death, with her fiancé seeking to dismiss what he described as false claims about her final days.
