  "account": "Temitope Osoba, a former Nollywood actress, died at a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos State, according to her fiancé, Prophet Itunu Onadeko. Onadeko made this claim in an interview with the Celestial Reality Check media outlet, contradicting rumors that she died from breast cancer complications or other alleged mistreatment. Onadeko stated that he was informed of Osoba's death by an unspecified caller around midnight. He noted that Osoba had visited another Mrs. Kehinde Osoba, who also runs a church, before her death, and that a hairdresser accompanied her. Onadeko denied knowing the exact police station where she died and reported himself to a nearby station. He also dismissed allegations that Osoba was poisoned or maltreated before her death. Osoba had previously battled breast cancer, but Onadeko stated that her illness was not the cause of her death.",
