Veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as “Ogogo,” dies on Sunday, and an older video/interview about his health struggles resurfaces online.
In the footage, Ogogo describes a long period of illness, saying he experienced severe symptoms including chest pain, vomiting blood, and ulcers. One outlet reports he described vomiting blood for seven months, while another frames it as part of a multi-year battle with the condition.
The outlets present the same basic account: after Ogogo’s death, viewers are being directed to his earlier statements about what he went through. The reports focus less on new medical information and more on how the past clip is renewed in public attention.
