Rest in peace my dearest sister, Temitope Osoba. We had amazing time and good memories together, till we meet again. I really dunno what to say mehn, gosh,” Sanni wrote.
Other colleagues, including actress Adeyemo Seilat, also expressed grief online, lamenting the loss of a young talent and extending prayers for her soul.
