VIDEO: Ogogo diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, family says ‘hospital can’t treat him further’

The family of Taiwo Hassan, the Nollywood actor better known
as ‘Ogogo’, says he has been diagnosed with stage four cancer.

 

In a video shared on social media by Kira, Ogogo’s daughter,
the family is seeking the public’s support to treat the ailing actor.

The family said the condition was discovered about three
weeks ago and affected the actor’s abdomen.

Kira revealed that some medical institutions said they can
no longer conduct chemotherapy on him.

The daughter pleaded with the public to help recommend other
means of treatment for her father.

“I am here for my daddy. He has cancer, and it is stage 4.
The hospital is saying that they cannot treat him again—they can not give him
chemo anymore. I am not here to beg for money,” Kira said in an Instagram post.

“I really want to appreciate Senator Yayi [Solomon Adeola].
He has been the one helping us, footing the bills. And still, what I am here
for is to ask if you can treat my daddy, if you can start chemo for him,
whether it is medical or herbs.”

Lima, another daughter of Ogogo, said Solomon Adeola, the
senator representing Ogun West, has promised to continue supporting the family
financially.

“I am begging you—any help, anything, anybody. If you know
someone who knows someone willing to try anything to treat him, please let me
know. Nobody is here to ask for money. He did not worry. My big uncle has
helped; he has been of great help,” Lima said.

“Nobody even knew he would show up for us this way. But if
he is willing to do anything, if you know somebody that knows somebody willing
to treat him, I would appreciate it. I cannot watch my daddy die.”

Responding to a comment by socialite Yhemo Lee, Lima said
Ogogo is not fit to be flown abroad for treatment.
