The daughters of veteran Yoruba actor, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, have appealed for urgent medical intervention for their father, who they said is battling stage-four cancer.

Lima and Kira Taiwo made the appeal in separate videos shared on Instagram on Monday.

They claimed that hospitals had stopped treating the 66-year-old actor, with one of them saying doctors could no longer continue his chemotherapy.

Lima, who broke down repeatedly during her appeal, said the family needed medical assistance rather than financial donations.Hello everybody, good evening. I’m here to ask for help from my daddy. He has cancer and it’s really, really bad.

“And the hospitals are refusing to treat him. At least, please, give this man a chance. Nobody wants to do anything,” she said.

According to her, the family only learnt about the severity of Hassan’s condition about three weeks ago.

She explained that his physical appearance initially gave them little reason to suspect that his health had deteriorated badly.You see him, you can’t even know that. Something is wrong that bad. It’s just starting to show. We didn’t even know until like three weeks ago,” she said.
