Nollywood stars, relatives and friends gathered in Ilaro, Ogun State, to bid farewell to veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known by his professional name, Ogogo.
PUNCH Newspapers reported that Hassan died at the age of 66. The gathering brought together members of his family, people close to him and colleagues from Nigeria’s film industry.
Photographs published with the report documented the attendance of mourners in Ilaro. However, the supplied account does not identify the Nollywood stars shown or provide a full list of family members and friends who attended.
The available evidence also does not state when Hassan died, the circumstances of his death or the precise nature and programme of the farewell event. No comments from his family, friends or industry colleagues were included in the supplied report summary.
What is confirmed is that Hassan was regarded as a veteran actor, was popularly called Ogogo and was 66 at the time of his death. The Ilaro gathering served as an opportunity for people from his private life and acting profession to come together in farewell.
