Renowned drama evangelist and founder of Mount Zion Faith Drama Ministry, Mike Bamiloye, has mourned the death of gospel actress Toluwalope Adegboyega-Alagbe, popularly known as Flora in the film Abattoir series.
Flora, renowned for her captivating performances, reportedly passed away on February 4, 2025, from injuries sustained in a December 2024 car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
In a tribute shared on his Facebook page on Thursday, Bamiloye described Flora’s death as a transition to eternal rest, reaffirming his unwavering faith in God’s plan and the mission of Christian filmmaking.
“We are soldiers… on the battlefield! Jesus is our commander! When He calls our names, we shall answer a million times!” Bamiloye wrote.
Reflecting on the loss, he stated, “When you cross over to Heaven, you forget all pains and griefs.
“No shaking! Tolu left a great impact and was called home to heaven! We shall continue till the end!”

Bamiloye, whose ministry has played a great role in gospel drama in Nigeria, declared that the mission of producing faith-based films remains unshaken despite the loss.
The Christian movie maker continued, “The devil cannot touch us without God knowing about it! We will not keep quiet! We move! More Abattoirs! More Abejoyes!!!”
Encouraging his colleagues in the Christian film industry to press on, he urged, “The rest of us, get up on your feet! Proceed to film locations in towns and villages! Ise sese bere ni! (The work has just begun!) We move!!!”
Her death followed that of another Abattoir actor, Moses Korede Are (Baba Gbenro), who died in November 2024.
He was buried on 31 January, 2025.
Meanwhile, PUNCH Online reported that Bamiloye’s son, Joshua, penned his tribute to the deceased in an X post on Wednesday.
Joshua wrowrote, “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.”
Another gospel actress, Tomiwa Samson, also shared a tribute on Instagram on Tuesday.
