The family of veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, dismisses viral social media claims that he has died. The reports circulate while the actor is described as battling cancer.
According to the family’s response, the posts are unverified and should not be shared. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Ogogo’s daughter, Haleemah Taiwo, addresses the rumours on Instagram, urging the public to stop spreading fake news. Vanguard also states that the family debunks the reports, describing them as false amid his ongoing health situation.
While both outlets focus on the same central point—that the death rumour is incorrect and the family is urging restraint—the emphasis differs slightly. Vanguard frames the issue as part of a continuing cancer battle, whereas Daily Post highlights the direct warning from the actor’s daughter on Instagram. Neither outlet provides additional independent confirmation of the actor’s condition beyond the family’s statements.
