Kira, daughter of veteran actor and screenwriter Taiwo “Ogogo” Hassan, has alleged that some people are exploiting her father’s stage four cancer diagnosis for financial gain.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that Kira and her sister, Haleemah, revealed in videos that doctors diagnosed their father with cancer and appealed to Nigerians to help the family explore possible treatment options, including traditional medicine, after alleging that a hospital had declined to treat him.
The sisters, however, clarified that the family was not asking Nigerians for money. Their appeal prompted offers of assistance from members of the public, including recommendations of hospitals and traditionalist homes where Ogogo could receive treatment.
His colleagues later said his condition meant he could not be moved from the hospital where he was receiving care.
