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

Flora reportedly passed away on February 4, 2025, after a car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in December.

Joshua Mike-Bamiloye, son of Mike Bamiloye, founder of the Mount Zion Faith Drama Ministry, confirmed her death in a post on X.com on Wednesday. Joshua wrote, “It’s been a few quiet days for me here. I am 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 a lasting impact. My heart goes out to her family. I pray the Lord Himself will comfort them beyond what words can express.”

Flora’s colleagues in the movie industry have also begun to pay tribute. Fellow actor Oluwaseun Adejumobi recalled his time working with her in a post on Instagram. Adejumobi wrote, “Aburo mi, Toluwalope, you fought a good fight and 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).

“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.”

He continued, “While you were recovering in the hospital, you were still full of life and assured us that you would soon give your big testimony of how God rescued you and helped you survive this accident!

“But you left us with questions in our hearts. Still, God is God, and He is a just God! We celebrate the life you lived and the impact you made! This is a painful exit. This is a shock! We take solace in the fact that you have gone to be with your Maker. Goodnight, Sister Tolu. Goodnight, Iya Ibeji. Goodnight, Flora.”
