Veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known by his screen name Ogogo, died on Sunday, 23 August 2026, at the age of 66. His daughter, Kira Taiwo, shared a private message from him on her Instagram Story on Monday, a day after his death. The exchange was dated 26 July.
In the conversation, Hassan sought to comfort his daughter, according to accounts of the post. He told her, “Don’t cry, my princess,” encouraged her to remain strong and assured her that he would be fine. Kira shared the message without further details about the circumstances in which the July conversation took place.
The date on the exchange places it about four weeks before the actor’s death. Although reports have described it as a message sent shortly before he died, the available evidence does not establish whether it was Hassan’s final conversation with his daughter or whether the two communicated again afterwards.
The reports identify Hassan as a veteran of Yoruba cinema but do not state the cause or place of his death. They also do not provide information about funeral arrangements or disclose who first confirmed his death. Kira’s post therefore documents a personal moment between father and daughter while key details surrounding his death remain publicly unconfirmed.
