By Modupe Gbadeyanka

A popular Nigerian actor, Mr Taiwo Hassan, fondly called Ogogo, is reportedly battling stage 4 cancer.

This information was confirmed by one of her daughters, Ms Kira Wunmi Taiwo, in a video posted on her social media pages.

In the video, which has now gone viral, she sought the assistance of Nigerians for a good hospital where her Ilaro, Ogun State-born father could receive quality medical attention.

She emphasised that the thespian or his family is not seeking financial help, as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections, Mr Solomon Adeola, otherwise known as Yayi, has been very supportive in that aspect.

However, she stated that the medical situation of the Ikorodu-based actor has not improved as expected, which is why she is appealing to Nigerians with access to traditional medical treatment or other alternative treatment for the man.

Ogogo is one of the veteran actors in Nollywood. He gained widespread fame in the blockbuster movie titled Owo Blow released in 1996 and directed by Tade Ogidan. It was released in three parts, namely: The Genesis, The Revolt, and The Final Struggle.
