What cleric said about the N25 million
During the prayer ceremony, the officiating cleric temporarily halted proceedings to address what he described as misleading information making the rounds online.
He explained that Ogogo had long desired to renovate his grandfather's house, and even as he lay on his sick bed, he made sure the funds for the project were complete so the work could begin.

The cleric was emphatic that the N25 million had nothing to do with a mosque. According to him, some bloggers had falsely claimed the funds were intended for mosque construction, but that account is untrue. The money was earmarked specifically for the house renovation that Ogogo had planned before his passing.
Ogogo's final wishes before his death
The cleric's clarification painted a picture of a man who, even in his final days, remained committed to a vision that meant a great deal to him personally. Ensuring that the funds were in place before he died appeared to be one of his last acts of intention.
A video of the two clerics speaking about the matter at the ceremony has drawn widespread attention from fans and followers of the late actor.
Here is the X video of the cleric speaking about the late actor's unfulfilled dream below:
