A touching moment unfolded at the Fidau prayer held for late Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, when an 8-year-old Hausa boy walked in and refused to leave.
The child arrived at the solemn Islamic gathering apparently unaware of its significance. According to those present, he believed he had come to greet "Mallam", his name for Ogogo, assuming it was one of the actor's usual festive occasions at his Ilaro home.

A neighbour who was at the event confirmed that the boy was no stranger to the property, as he regularly visited Ogogo during celebrations and holiday gatherings.
When the Fidau prayer commenced and the boy showed no intention of leaving, the head cleric took notice and asked where he had come from. His innocent response left the room deeply moved.
Cleric's warm response to Ogogo's fan
Rather than turn the child away, the head cleric chose a different path entirely. He offered the boy ₦1,000 and arranged for a chair to be brought so he could sit comfortably among the mourners.

The gesture was widely praised as a reflection of the warmth and community spirit that Ogogo himself was known to embody.
The moment spoke volumes about the kind of man Ogogo was, someone whose kindness extended beyond family and friends to include even the youngest and most unexpected faces in his neighbourhood.
Taiwo Hassan passed away on Sunday, 23 August 2026, after a brief illness linked to cancer. In line with Islamic tradition, he was buried on the same day.
