Ogogo’s daughters appreciate supporters, declare Nollywood entry

The daughters of the late veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, said they intend to carry on their father’s legacy in the movie industry.

Ogogo, known for his calm and authoritative screen presence, passed away on August 23 and was interred at his residence in Ilaro, Ogun State, the following day according to Islamic rites.

The sisters said they would not exit the film industry but would continue acting and producing films to preserve their father’s name.

We’re going to be here. So please extend the love that you showed to our daddy.

“All the good things that you people were saying on the internet actually gave us relief, actually made us feel relieved. It didn’t really; it hit deep. But then, please continue to show us love. When we produce movies and post on YouTube, please watch, help us share, and repost. You know, that love that you had for Ogogo, please show it to Shakirat Ogogo and Haleemah Ogogo.”
