Nollywood actress Ronke Oshodi Oke has become emotional after missing the burial of veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo.
The actress, who is currently in the United Kingdom, reportedly became tearful while reflecting on her inability to return to Nigeria to pay her final respects to the late actor.
Ogogo was laid to rest in his hometown of Ilaro, Ogun State, following his death at the age of 66.
His passing came shortly after his family revealed that he had been battling stage-four cancer, prompting an outpouring of concern and prayers from colleagues, fans and well-wishers.
For Ronke, missing the funeral appeared particularly painful because of her long-standing connection with the veteran actor and the wider Yoruba movie industry.
The actress has worked alongside Ogogo and other prominent figures in Yoruba cinema for years, making his death a deeply personal loss for many of his colleagues.
As tributes continue to pour in, Ogogo is being remembered for his decades-long contribution to Yoruba theatre and Nollywood.
His death has also brought together actors and industry veterans who have continued to celebrate his impact and legacy.
For Ronke Oshodi Oke, however, being away from Nigeria at the time of his burial meant missing an important final moment with a colleague she had known and worked with for years.
Her emotional reaction has touched fans, who have continued to send messages of sympathy and support as the entertainment industry mourns the loss of one of its veteran figures.
