VIDEO: Ogogo’s wife weeps as late actor is buried

A video from the burial of late Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, shows his wife weeping as she is consoled by family friends in Ilaro, Ogun State. The emotional scene captures the grief surrounding the burial, as mourners gathered to bid farewell to the 66-year-old actor. Ogogo's close friend and colleague, Yinka Quadri, also shed tears during the emotional event.

The burial followed a lying-in-state ceremony held earlier in Ilaro, his hometown, and was attended by numerous Nollywood actors, family members, and well-wishers. Ogogo, a prominent figure in the Nigerian film industry, had a career spanning more than four decades and became one of the most recognisable actors in Yoruba cinema.
