Actor Yinka Quadri has opened up about his final moments with his close friend, the late actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, revealing what Ogogo told him at the hospital before his death.
Ogogo died from stage 4 cancer on Sunday and was buried the following day in his hometown in the Ilaro area of Ogun State, INTELNEWSNG reports.
Quadri was seen in tears at Ogogo’s funeral. Speaking for the first time since the actor’s death, he described Ogogo as his twin brother from heaven.
“I have always said that we were twins from heaven, only born to different mothers,” he said.
In a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, Quadri recalled visiting Ogogo at the hospital just hours before his death.
“I will never forget the last time I saw you at the hospital. You were lying on your sick bed, and when I saw you, I could not hold back my tears. You looked at me and said, ‘Yinka, don’t cry. Nothing bad will happen to me.’ And I responded, ‘Yes, Amen.’
“A few minutes later, you asked me to give you the bottle of water on the table. I gave it to you, and you drank from it. Then you looked at me and said, ‘Yinka, can you see that I drank the water, even though I ate this morning?’ You asked the doctors to confirm whether it was true that you had eaten that morning, and they confirmed it.
“At that moment, I said ‘glory be to God’. My hope and faith became even stronger. But the doctors only advised us to remain prayerful.”
