In an emotional tribute shared on her Instagram page *@kira_taiwo*, Kira Hassan, daughter of the late veteran Nollywood icon Taiwo Hassan (Ogogo), expressed profound grief following her father’s passing. Kira revealed her deep sorrow over the fact that her father will never get the chance to hold her unborn second child.
Kira described her late father as her absolute pillar of support, lamentoing that she can no longer get a simple hug from him. The emotional post came right after high-profile government figures and Nollywood colleagues gathered in Ilaro for the veteran actor’s fidau prayers and honors.
Quoting her post, *Naija News* published Kira’s statement: “My daddy. THE BEST. I can’t even get a hug anymore… This is what heartbreak really means.” Additionally, *Yoruba Movie Gist* on Instagram reshared the tribute, noting, “Ogogo’s daughter Kira breaks down in tears as she mourns late father.”
The raw grief shared by Ogogo’s family underscores the deep personal loss behind major public passings. The late actor’s legacy as a cultural icon will remain firmly enshrined in Nollywood history.
