Nollywood actor Taiwo ‘Ogogo’ Hassan is battling stage four cancer, according to one of his daughters, Shakirat Taiwo.

A video of the actor’s daughter crying and begging for medical help for her ailing father emerged on social media on Monday.

“I’m here for my daddy. He has cancer. Stage four. Hospitals are saying they cannot treat him again,” Ms Taiwo said.

She appealed to Nigerians who could help treat her father, either medically or with herbs, to come to the actor’s aid.

“What I am here for is, if anyone can treat my dad, whether in hospital or with herbs, please help. My daddy does not want to die. Please don’t let my daddy die. Anybody you know that can treat cancer, please, I’m begging you,” Ms Taiwo said.
