Veteran Nigerian actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known by his screen name Ogogo, died at the age of 64, according to reports published on Sunday, 23 August 2026. His daughter announced the death during a live session on Instagram.
P.M. News identified the daughter who confirmed the news as Kaira Taiwo. The publication said her announcement followed several days of concern surrounding her father’s health. Premium Times also reported that one of Hassan’s daughters disclosed his death during an Instagram Live session on Sunday.
PUNCH reported that the Nollywood actor died after a long battle with stage-four cancer. That medical detail was not included in the summaries published by Premium Times or P.M. News, and the available evidence does not indicate whether Hassan’s family addressed the cause of death during the Instagram broadcast.
The supplied reports do not state where Hassan died, the precise time of his death or any funeral arrangements. They also do not include a separate written statement from his family or representatives. Further details about memorial and burial plans were therefore not immediately available.
Hassan was described across the reports as a veteran and popular Nollywood actor. News of his death drew mourning from fans, according to PUNCH, while the family confirmation brought an end to the uncertainty that had surrounded reports about his health in the preceding days.
