Prophet Itunu Arrested in Connection with Tope Osoba's Death

Prophet Itunu, identified as the lover of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba, was arrested by the police on August 18, 2026, following allegations regarding the circumstances of her death on August 4, 2026. Temitope Osoba, known as Tope Osoba, had previously survived breast cancer two years prior to her death.

Allegations surfaced from her friends and associates, claiming that Itunu and his family contributed to her demise by manipulating her into living with him without formal marriage and isolating her from her family and friends. They accused him of bullying her, taking her money and car, and preventing her from acting.

Following these allegations, some friends shared chats and voice notes as evidence. The family postponed her burial to facilitate a police investigation.

In an interview, Itunu denied the accusations, claiming Tope approached him for marriage and later revealed her struggles with drug addiction. Alongside Itunu, a hairdresser was also arrested, while another suspect, Pelumi, remains at large.
