The family of the late Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogohas dismissed reports that his daughter, Shakirat (Kira) Taiwo, has given birth to a 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 ignore the report and described it as false.
She wrote: “DISCLAIMER. Please ignore 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 us about it, so we felt the need to clarify it publicly.”

He further appealed to 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 came after a video circulated claiming that Kira had welcomed a baby.
The viral claim, which was accompanied by a short video, described the alleged newborn as “a carbon copy of my dad” and suggested that the child was born just 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.
