A Chief Imam in Ilaro, Ogun State, Tajudeen Adewunmi, says he returned N25 million entrusted to him by late veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, after the actor’s death. Adewunmi explains that the money had been given to him before Ogogo died and that he eventually handed it back.
Both outlets report that the imam disputes the purpose for which the funds were originally meant to be used. Adewunmi says Ogogo transferred the money to support the completion of rebuilding the imam’s grandfather’s house, rather than for a mosque project. After Ogogo’s death, the imam says he opted to return the funds to the appropriate parties—described by one outlet as returning it to Ogogo’s family.
The coverage is largely aligned on the key points: the amount, the parties involved, the imam’s explanation for the funds’ intended use, and the fact that the money is returned following Ogogo’s death. Differences are limited to how one outlet frames the receiving party and the phrasing of the imam’s account.
