Ogogo’s family debunks report of daughter giving childbirth

The family of late Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has dismissed circulating reports and a video claiming that his daughter, Shakirat (Kira) Taiwo, has welcomed a baby boy.
nIn a statement posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday, Haleemah (Lima) Taiwo, another daughter of the late actor, issued a clear disclaimer.
nShe wrote, “DISCLAIMER. Please disregard the information currently circulating that my sister has given birth. This is not true.
n“We have been receiving several calls and messages from friends and family asking about it, so we felt the need to clarify publicly.
n“At a time when our family is mourning the loss of our father, we kindly ask everyone to stop spreading or sharing unverified information about our family.
n“Thank you for your understanding, prayers and for our privacy at this difficult time.”
nThe viral claims, accompanied by a short video, described the newborn as “My Daddy’s Carbon Copy” and suggested the birth occurred just days after Ogogo’s burial.
nOgogo, a veteran of Yoruba cinema, died on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the age of 66 after battling stage-four cancer.
nHe was buried according to Islamic rites the following day in his hometown of Ilaro, Ogun State.
