Hospitals refusing to treat our father, Nollywood actor Ogogo’s daughters cry out over stage-four cancer

The daughters of veteran Yoruba actor, Taiwo Hassan, known as Ogogo, have reached out for help, alleging that hospitals have refused to continue treating their father, who is battling stage-four cancer. Lima and Kira Taiwo, the actor's daughters, made separate emotional appeals on Instagram, urging Nigerians and medical professionals to assist their father.

Lima disclosed that her father's condition had worsened and that hospitals were unwilling to provide further treatment. Kira also posted a video, revealing that her father's cancer was at stage four and that the hospital refused to administer chemotherapy again. Both daughters emphasized that they were not seeking financial assistance, only medical intervention.

The family has received support from a relative, but the actor's management and the hospital have not yet released any official information regarding his diagnosis or treatment.
