Habibat Jinad's final moments with Tope Osoba
In a post shared on her Instagram page on August 5, Habibat Jinad described how she had reached out to Temitope in the period before her death, driven by what she described as divine prompting.
The two actresses prayed together over a phone call that lasted approximately eight minutes, and Habibat included a screenshot of their WhatsApp call log as proof of the exchange.
Struggling to come to terms with the loss, Habibat wrote that she cannot bring herself to question God's will, expressing gratitude that she followed through on the nudge to reach out when she did.
In her words:
"I called you recently because God led me to pray for you, Tope Osoba, and we prayed over the phone for about 8 minutes. I still can't believe this. Who am I to question God's will? May God forgive your sins and grant your soul eternal rest. This is a reminder to all of us: please always check on one another. You never truly know what someone is going through or when it may be your last chance to reach out. I am grateful I obeyed God's leading and did what He asked me to do for you before you left this world. Rest in perfect peace, Temitope. OSOBA My eyes are filled with tears again."
