The 66-year-old actor reportedly passed away on Sunday, August 23, 2026, days after his family made an emotional public appeal for urgent medical assistance over his deteriorating health.
Ogogo's daughter reportedly announced his death during a live session on social media, bringing an end to the veteran actor's battle with the illness.
The development comes after the actor's daughters publicly revealed that their father had been diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer.
The family had appealed to medical experts, hospitals and specialists for assistance in securing appropriate treatment for him. Reports indicated that his condition had deteriorated significantly, with chemotherapy reportedly no longer considered possible at the hospital where he was receiving treatment.
The news of Ogogo's death comes less than a week after his family was forced to debunk an earlier viral report claiming that he had died. At the time, his daughter dismissed the report as false and urged members of the public to stop spreading unverified information while the actor continued his battle with cancer.
Born on October 31, 1959, in Ilaro, Ogun State, Taiwo Hassan built a remarkable career spanning several decades in the Nigerian film industry. He became one of the most recognisable faces in Yoruba-language Nollywood, earning widespread admiration for his commanding performances as an actor, filmmaker, producer and director.
His death has thrown fans and colleagues into mourning, with tributes expected to pour in from across the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Ogogo's passing marks the end of an era for many lovers of Yoruba films who grew up watching his memorable performances on screen.
May his soul rest in peace.
