I DIDN’T KNOW OGOGO WAS BATTLING HEALTH ISSUES – PETER FATOMILOLA

Veteran Yoruba actor, Peter Fatomilola, has revealed that he was unaware that fellow actor, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, was battling health challenges before the issue was made public by the late actor’s daughter.

Fatomilola disclosed this in an upcoming interview with African A-List, also known as AfricanaList, a clip of which was shared on Saturday.

Ogogo’s daughter had earlier appealed publicly for assistance with her father’s health condition before his death.

Speaking about the development, Fatomilola described Ogogo as being like a son to him, saying he would have sought advice from people more knowledgeable than him if he had known about the actor’s condition.

He said he personally did not hear that Ogogo was facing health challenges until his daughter spoke publicly about the situation.

Fatomilola said that when problems affecting a person are kept private, they could become more difficult to address once they escalate.

The veteran actor, however, said he did not want to speak extensively about the matter in public.

He advised people to seek guidance from those with greater knowledge whenever they become aware that someone is facing a serious challenge.

Fatomilola also reflected on his own life, revealing that he had been working on building a house with his late senior wife, Adawole, before her death.

According to him, the building had reached the lintel level when his wife passed away.

He described the house as one of the few major things he had wanted to accomplish in life but had not been able to complete.

Ogogo died on August 23 and was later buried in Ogun State.

His death followed reports of health challenges and a public appeal by his daughter for support for his treatment.
