Late actor Taiwo Hassan’s family announces 40-day prayer

The family of late veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has announced a 40-day prayer to honour his memory and pray for the peaceful repose of his soul.

The invitation was shared by his daughter, Lima Taiwo, on her social media page, calling on relatives, friends and well-wishers to join the family for the prayer.

According to the announcement, the gathering will provide an opportunity for loved ones to honour the actor’s life, reflect on his legacy and pray for his soul.

The 40-day prayer is scheduled to hold on Friday, October 2, 2026, at Asade Agunloye Pavilion Ground, Ilaro-Yewa, Ogun State, at 12pm.

Ogogo died on Sunday, August 23, 2026, after battling stage four cancer. His daughter announced his death during a live video.

He was laid to rest on Monday, August 24, in the presence of family members, friends and several colleagues from the entertainment industry.

Days before his death, his daughter, Kira, had revealed in an emotional video that the actor was battling stage four cancer and had reportedly been denied chemotherapy at a hospital.

She appealed to the public for recommendations of medical or traditional practitioners who could help treat her father, stressing that the family was not seeking financial assistance.

Lima later also spoke about her father’s condition, claiming that hospitals were refusing to treat him. She similarly appealed for medical assistance, saying she did not want to lose her father.

Following the family’s appeals, Senator Yayi reportedly reached out to cancer specialists in an effort to secure medical treatment for the veteran actor, who was subsequently admitted to the operating theatre.
