The tribute highlighted the actress’s belief that the call was a significant moment, as she explained that she felt encouraged to reach out and pray with her colleague before her death.

The actress expressed gratitude that she responded to the urge to contact Osoba, describing the prayer session as something she would always cherish.

“I am grateful I obeyed God’s leading and did what He asked me to do for you before you left this world,” Jinad wrote.
