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.

In a statement posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday, Haleemah (Lima) Taiwo, another daughter of the late actor, issued a clear disclaimer.

n

She 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.”

The 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.

Ogogo, a veteran of Yoruba cinema, died on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the age of 66 after battling stage-four cancer.

n

He was buried according to Islamic rites the following day in his hometown of Ilaro, Ogun State.
