Why we can’t move Ogogo for spiritual treatment - Jide Kosoko

Veteran Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko has made an appeal for continued prayers for his ailing colleague, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, who is currently undergoing treatment for stage-four cancer. Kosoko expressed profound gratitude for the overwhelming support received from fans, colleagues, and well-wishers since news of Ogogo's health struggles became public.

“

We have received offers from more than 300, and even over 500 people, each sincerely believing that they have something that could help him. The challenge is simply: Where do we take him to? And how do we move him from the hospital while he is receiving care?

However, Kosoko clarified the family's current limitations regarding the numerous offers for spiritual and medical intervention. He explained that Ogogo's condition makes relocation from the hospital extremely difficult. "We have received offers from more than 300, and even over 500 people, each sincerely believing that they have something that could help him," Kosoko stated. "The challenge is simply: Where do we take him to? And how do we move him from the hospital while he is receiving care?"

Addressing those who offered traditional, spiritual, or specialized treatments, Kosoko urged them not to feel disappointed. He emphasized that their inability to bring Ogogo to them does not signify a lack of appreciation or doubt in their intentions. "Please understand that our inability to bring him to anyone does not mean that we do not appreciate you, nor does it mean that we doubt your intentions or your desire to help," he added.

Please, do not feel offended or disappointed if we are unable to bring Ogogo to you for spiritual assistance or treatment. It is extremely difficult to move him from the hospital to different locations at this stage of his treatment, especially considering the large number of people who have offered to help.

Kosoko encouraged supporters to continue their well-wishes and prayers from their respective locations. "On the contrary, we are deeply touched by the overwhelming love and concern that people across the world have shown towards him. Therefore, we encourage you to continue doing whatever you can from your respective locations and comfort zones. Keep praying. Keep supporting us. Keep believing with us."

The update comes after Ogogo's daughters revealed his stage-four cancer diagnosis, which prompted widespread concern and support across the film industry and social media. While acknowledging the public's desire to help, Kosoko's message reaffirms that Ogogo remains under direct hospital care.
