Mike Bamiloye Mourns ‘Abattoir’ Star Flora Adegboyega-Alagbe
Mike Bamiloye, founder of Mount Zion Faith Drama Ministry, has expressed his sorrow over the death of gospel actress Toluwalope Adegboyega-Alagbe, known as Flora in the Abattoir series. Flora passed away on February 4, 2025, from injuries sustained in a car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway in December 2024.
On Facebook, Bamiloye described her death as a transition to eternal rest, emphasizing his faith in God’s plan and the importance of Christian filmmaking. He wrote, “We are soldiers… on the battlefield! Jesus is our commander! When He calls our names, we shall answer a million times!” He added, “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, a prominent Nigerian gospel drama figure, affirmed that faith-based film production’s mission continues despite this loss. “The devil cannot touch us without God knowing about it! We will not keep quiet! We move! More abattoirs! More Abejoyes!!!” he declared. He encouraged his colleagues, saying, “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!!!”

Flora’s death follows that of another Abattoir actor, Moses Korede Are (Baba Gbenro), who died in November 2024 and was buried on January 31, 2025.
Bamiloye’s son, Joshua, also paid tribute to Flora in an X post, writing, “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 a 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.”
Gospel actress Tomiwa Samson shared her tribute on Instagram, saying, “It is a privilege to have shared beautiful moments with you in this life. You have fought your good fight of faith, and you have finished your race! I love and celebrate you now and always, ‘sis mi’, as you fondly called me. Hmm! See you in heaven, our flower. You will always be our flower.”
