The family of Taiwo ‘Ogogo‘ Hassan has announced an extended burial ceremony for the late Nigerian actor.

In a statement on Wednesday, the family said the remaining programmes to complete the burial rites include the 8th-day Fidau Prayer, to be held on August 31, 2026, in Ilaro.

An Artists’ Day will also be held 40 days after Ogogo’s burial at the Pavilion Hall in Ilaro.

The family stated that the event will feature performances by entertainers, including actors, musicians, comedians, and singers.

“To our numerous fans, friends, colleagues, associates, and well-wishers, your massive presence at the burial was a great demonstration of the love and respect you had for Ogogo while he was alive. We sincerely appreciate every one of you,” the statement reads.

“We may not be able to mention names individually at this time, but Almighty Allah, in His infinite mercy, knows you all. May Allah reward you abundantly, bless you and your families, and ensure that no calamity comes upon you in your lifetime. We pray that your kindness and support will never go unrewarded.”

Ogogo died at around 3 pm on Sunday at the age of 66.

His death came days after his daughters announced he had been diagnosed with stage-four cancer, which had affected his abdomen, and appealed for medical assistance.

On Monday, the actor was buried in his hometown of Ilaro, Ogun State. Several industry colleagues, including Jide Kosoko and Yinka Quadri, attended his funeral.
