  "summary": "Nollywood actor Ogogo, whose real name is Taiwo Hassan, is battling stage-four cancer. His daughters, Haleemah Taiwo, Lima, and Kira Taiwo, have made public appeals for medical help, stating that hospitals have refused to treat him. According to his daughters, the family only recently discovered the extent of Ogogo's condition, which had not been apparent from his outward appearance.\n\nThe daughters have urged Nigerians, well-wishers, and medical professionals to help find a hospital or personnel willing to treat Ogogo, specifically seeking herbal or advanced medical treatment. Haleemah Taiwo warned against spreading unverified news about her father's death, debunking reports that he had passed away.\n\nIn a separate development, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a social media influencer known as KC Luxury. Details of the arrest are not fully available, but it is reported to be related to a major cocaine seizure.",
