The family of Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba has announced a new date for her funeral rites, which are scheduled to take place in Iperu Remo, Ogun State.
The burial is set for Thursday, September 10, 2026. This follows a recent update shared by the family via an obituary posted on her Instagram page on Monday.
According to the announcement, the remains of the actress will leave the Ogun State University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu at 9:00 am on the day of the burial. The ceremony will proceed to Iperu Remo for the final interment and burial service.
The decision to use social media for this announcement follows a trend among Nigerian celebrities and their families. By utilising platforms like Instagram, families can reach a vast audience of industry peers and fans instantly, ensuring that important updates regarding the passing of public figures are communicated directly.
Funeral arrangements and logistics
The logistics of the burial involve moving the body from the medical facility in Sagamu to the final destination in the Remo division of Ogun State. The Ogun State University Teaching Hospital, where the body is currently held, is one of the major medical institutions in the region, providing healthcare services to the surrounding communities.
The transition from Sagamu to Iperu Remo is expected to be a major event within the community. Iperu Remo is a town with deep cultural and historical ties within the Remo division, and hosting the funeral in this location allows the family to honour the actress’s heritage during the final rites.
As the industry prepares for the upcoming ceremonies, many colleagues from the Nigerian film sector are expected to participate in the tributes. The burial of veteran actors often serves as a moment of reflection for the Nollywood community, marking the end of a career and the start of a period of communal remembrance.
The family has not yet released the full itinerary for the subsequent days of the funeral, which may include traditional rites or memorial services. Further updates regarding the specific venue for the service in Iperu Remo are expected to follow.
