The Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) has commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba, amid allegations involving her fiancé and one of its Shepherds, Prophet Itunu Onadeko.
The church said it was particularly concerned that allegations involving Mr Onadeko had drawn its name into the controversy, describing the situation as “an extremely disgusting mess”.
The CCC disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday amid growing public concern and conflicting accounts about the circumstances surrounding the actress’s death.
Osoba, popularly known as Tope Osoba, died on 4 August at age 40, although her death was not publicly announced until the following day.
Initial reports attributed her death to a prolonged battle with breast cancer, an illness for which she had undergone surgery and publicly sought financial assistance in 2024.
