The journalist previously hosted the morning show at Top Radio FM.

Tosyn joined Top Radio after her youth service in 2009 as the only female handling a morning show.
In her lifetime, Tosyn Bucknor was nominated for several awards including Future Awards, ELOY Awards, and Best of Nollywood.
Following news of her death, fans and colleagues alike have taken to social media to express their shock.
