The daughter of veteran Yoruba actor, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has debunked reports claiming that the 66-year-old actor has died.

However, Ogogo’s daughter, Lima Taiwo, dismissed the report as false in a post on Instagram.

The family has continued to seek medical options for the actor while urging the public to disregard unverified reports concerning his condition.
