The burial arrangements for veteran Nollywood actor and screenwriter Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, have been announced.
Ogogo, who died on Sunday at the age of 66, will be buried on Monday, August 24, 2026, in his hometown, Ilaro, Ogun State.
Veteran actor Jide Kosoko announced the arrangements in a statement shared on his Instagram page.
According to the announcement, Ogogo’s remains will be taken to Ilaro, where a lying-in-state ceremony will be held at the Pavillon, Ilaro, by 11:00 a.m.
The founder of Best of Nollywood, Seun Oloketuyi, also confirmed the burial arrangements through a statement from the Ilaro Muslim Community.
The statement said the burial prayer would take place at the Asade Agunloye Pavilion Ground at 10:00 a.m. on Monday.
Ogogo died on Sunday at about 3 p.m., according to the burial announcement.
His death came days after his daughters, Kaira and Lima Taiwo, appealed for medical assistance for the actor, who had been battling stage-four cancer.
Kaira had earlier revealed that doctors told the family that chemotherapy could no longer be administered because of his condition.
Ogogo was one of the respected figures in the Nigerian film industry and was particularly known for his contributions to Yoruba-language cinema.
