A traditional herbal practitioner has come forward to reveal that he walked away from a N10 million offer to treat ailing Nollywood veteran Taiwo Hassan, widely known by his stage name Ogogo.

Ogogo's Stage 4 Cancer Battle

Legit.ng previously reported that Taiwo Hassan is battling stage 4 cancer, a diagnosis that was publicly confirmed by his daughters.

The practitioner noted that both herbal and conventional medical treatments tend to yield the best outcomes when a patient is identified early.

He was candid about the limits of intervention at an advanced stage, stating that once a condition reaches a critical point, any form of treatment becomes more of an attempt than a guarantee.

He described human efforts at that stage as a trial, rather than a reliable path to recovery.
