Once again, the Nigerian gospel film industry is mourning following the death of gospel actress Toluwalope Adegboyega-Alagbe, popularly known as Flora for her role in the acclaimed movie series Abattoir.

Flora, who captivated audiences with her performances, reportedly passed away on February 4, 2025, following a car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in December.
The news of her passing came as a shock to fans on social media, many of whom had hoped it was untrue.

Joshua Mike-Bamiloye, son of the founder of the Mount Zion Faith Drama Ministry, Mike Bamiloye, confirmed her death in a post on X.com on Wednesday.
Joshua wrote, “It’s been a few quiet days for me here, still struggling to process the passing of Toluwalope — a fellow drama minister and a light in this world. It’s heartbreaking and difficult to understand, but even in our pain, we continue to trust Him. It was a short run but with lasting impact.”

“My heart goes out to her family. I pray the Lord Himself will comfort them beyond what words can express. May His presence strengthen them in this season of grief,” he added.

Flora’s colleagues in the movie industry have also begun to pay tribute, with fellow actor Oluwaseun Adejumobi recalling his time working with her in a post on Instagram.

Adejumobi wrote, “Aburo mi, Toluwalope, you fought a good fight, you lived to impact. You were always willing to serve. I have read through your messages again and again—you would always say, ‘Egbon, e pe mi fun location’ (My brother, please invite me for a movie shoot). I remember how you recommended me to your church, and I was invited to minister.”

“Just last November, we were on a movie set together. You were full of life! You wanted to do more! I said I would call you for another production, and you were even ready before the invitation.”
