Actor Ogogo Hassan battling Stage 4 cancer, daughters seek treatment

The daughters of veteran Nigerian actor and screenwriter Taiwo “Ogogo” Hassan have revealed their father is battling Stage 4 cancer, appealing for urgent assistance as the family searches for treatment options. Kira and Haleemah Hassan shared their father's plight in tearful videos posted on Instagram.

“

I’m here for my daddy. He has cancer, and he’s in stage 4. The hospital is saying that they cannot treat him again; they can’t give him chemo again. So please, we are not here to beg for money. I really love to appreciate Senator Yayi. He has been the one helping us; he has been the one footing the bills. What I’m here for is that if you can treat my daddy, if you can start chemo for him, whether it’s medical or herbs, please, I beg you.

According to his daughters, several hospitals have refused to treat the actor, stating they can no longer administer chemotherapy. "The hospital is saying that they cannot treat him again; they can’t give him chemo again," Kira stated, emphasizing their search for any available medical or traditional healing methods. She stressed that their father "doesn’t want to die" and is in pain.

“

My daddy doesn’t want to die. He’s in pain. He’s not happy. Please, please, if you know anybody who can treat him natively or medically, I beg you, please, don’t let my daddy die. Any help, anybody that you know that can treat cancer, please, I’m begging you, please, you can send me a DM or my sister, or even his own DM, my sister will be able to get you to his phone.

Haleemah echoed the sentiment, expressing her inability to bear the thought of losing her father. She revealed that doctors discovered his cancer three weeks ago, and despite his deteriorating condition, he possesses a strong will to live. "We are not here to ask for money, that is not what this is about, but if you know someone who knows someone who can help, please reach out," Haleemah pleaded, noting that Senator Yayi has been a significant source of support for the family.

“

He has cancer, and it is very serious. The hospitals are refusing to treat him, and nobody is willing to do anything. We are not here to ask for money, that is not what this is about, but if you know someone who knows someone who can help, please reach out. This man has a strong will to live. If you saw him right now, you would not believe anything was wrong.

Hassan, who began his acting career in 1981, has appeared in numerous films, including "Aníkúlápó" and "Bank Alert." His daughters are urging anyone with knowledge of effective cancer treatments, whether medical or herbal, to contact them directly, hoping to give their father a chance to live.

It has only just started to show. We did not even know the full extent of it until three days ago. Please, if you know anyone willing to treat him, we are ready to try anything. Just give him a chance. My big uncle, Yayi, has helped; nobody knows he’ll show up for us this way. I can’t watch my daddy die
