Veteran Nigerian actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known as Ogogo, is battling stage-four cancer as his family seeks urgent medical intervention to save his life.
His daughters, Lima and Kira Taiwo, made separate public appeals on Instagram on Aug. 17, 2026, revealing that doctors stopped chemotherapy treatments because of the severity of his illness.
The daughters said they are not soliciting financial donations. Instead, they are searching for oncology specialists or healthcare facilities willing to take over the 66-year-old actor’s medical care.
“He has cancer, and it’s really, really bad, and the hospitals are refusing to treat him,” Lima said in an emotional video message. “At least, please, give this man a chance.”
The family learned the true scale of the diagnosis about three weeks ago. Until recently, Hassan’s physical appearance gave little indication of advanced illness, according to his family.
