A Muslim cleric has stepped forward with an unusual offer for ailing Nollywood veteran Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, claiming he has prepared a herbal remedy capable of treating the actor's stage 4 cancer.
The cleric appeared in a video posted to Instagram on August 18, dressed in Islamic attire and holding a white five-litre gallon filled with a liquid herbal mixture.

Before making his appeal, he explained how he came to prepare the concoction and why he felt compelled to help.
According to the cleric, sourcing the necessary ingredients was not easy, but he happened to have them available.
He said the federal government has officially recognised his practice, adding that his work covers conditions such as cancer and hepatitis.
His main concern at the time of the video was finding a way to get the remedy to the actor or his family.
"I have prepared a herbal medicine for cancer treatment for Actor Ogogo. The ingredients are scarce to get but God loves you, I had some at hand. The problem now is how it will get to him. I usually charge N320,000 for this but I will give Ogogo free of charge. I want him to know that traditional medicine is real. We treat cancer, hepatitis and other ailment, and the federal government has approved us. Please help us call him or his family to reach out to us, so we can deliver it to him or they can come and pick it up."
Ogogo's family sought alternative treatment help
The cleric's video came just one day after Ogogo's daughter, Kira, released an emotional appeal on August 17, revealing that chemotherapy was no longer considered a viable option for her father.
The actor's family stated clearly that they were not seeking financial donations but rather credible leads on alternative medical specialists, hospitals, or traditional treatment centres that could offer meaningful care.
Ogogo remains one of Nollywood's most beloved figures, with a career in the Yoruba-language film industry spanning several decades.
