The family of late veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has dismissed reports that his daughter, Shakirat (Kira) Taiwo, has given birth to a baby boy.
The clarification was made by Haleemah (Lima) Taiwo, another daughter of the late actor, in a statement shared on her Instagram page on Wednesday.
Haleemah urged the public to disregard the report, describing it as false.
She wrote, ‘DISCLAIMER. Please disregard the information currently circulating that my sister has given birth. This is not true.
‘We have been receiving several calls and messages from friends and family asking about it, so we felt the need to clarify publicly.’
She further appealed to members of the public to stop circulating unverified information about the family, noting that they were still mourning the death of their father.
‘At a time when our family is mourning the loss of our father, we kindly ask everyone to stop spreading or sharing unverified information about our family.
‘Thank you for your understanding, prayers and for our privacy at this difficult time.’
The clarification followed the circulation of a video claiming that Kira had welcomed a baby boy.
The viral claim, which was accompanied by a short video, described the purported newborn as ‘My Daddy’s Carbon Copy’ and suggested that the child was born only days after Ogogo’s burial.
Ogogo, a veteran of Yoruba cinema, died on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the age of 66 after battling stage-four cancer.
