Kira Taiwo, daughter of veteran Yoruba actor Ogogo, broke down in tears during a live stream on Sunday, August 23, 2026, reacting to a cleric who publicly shared details of a visit to her ailing father. The cleric reportedly went to the actor's location to deliver herbal remedies and then released a video showing what he witnessed during the visit, which has since sparked widespread concern and family distress.
Family Heartbreak Over Actor's Health
According to Kira, a senior relative she refers to as "big daddy" had no idea Ogogo was battling any health condition until the cleric's footage began circulating. The video eventually found its way into the family's WhatsApp group, and the news hit the elder relative hard. A cousin then shared in the group chat that big daddy had been weeping and asking in Yoruba, "Is Taye leaving us?" a question that clearly devastated Kira as she recounted it through tears.
The actress added that she could not even bring herself to look at the photographs of her father that had been spreading across social media, insisting that he does not deserve the situation he has been placed in. The emotional toll on the family was evident as Kira struggled to contain her grief during the live stream.
Kira Slams Those Exploiting Her Father's Condition
Beyond the grief, Kira also expressed frustration at what she described as people attempting to profit from her father's illness. She called out those involved directly, urging them to fear God. As for the cleric who triggered the chain of events, Kira said she was leaving the matter in God's hands rather than pursuing a confrontation.
The incident has drawn widespread attention, with fans and well-wishers flooding social media with messages of support and prayers for the ailing actor and his family. Comments ranged from personal stories of survival to religious affirmations, reflecting the deep concern for Ogogo's health.
