Pa Peter Fatomilola on Taiwo Hassan Ogogo
The respected actor described Ogogo as someone he regarded as a son within the industry, remembering him as a genuinely kind person.

In his words:
"Taiwo Hassan Ogogo was my child in the industry, a very good man. It's a pity I didn't hear anything about his health until his daughter came out to ask for help. If I had known, and couldn't even help, I would have seek help from people wiser than me for him."
Fatomilola's message to the public
Beyond mourning his colleague, Fatomilola took the opportunity to send a direct message to people facing health challenges, urging them not to suffer in silence.
He stressed that seeking help early could make a significant difference, as one can never predict who might be in a position to offer meaningful support.
"People need to come out early before sickness gets worse cos you'll never know who can help," he added.
