Actor Yinka Quadri, a close friend of the late veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has revealed what the deceased told him during his final hours at the hospital.
Ogogo died on Sunday after battling stage-four cancer and was buried the following day in his hometown in the Ilaro area of Ogun State.
Quadri, who was visibly emotional at Ogogo’s funeral, has now recounted his final conversation with the late actor, revealing what Ogogo told him just a few hours before his death.
Speaking for the first time after the incident, Yinka Quadri 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.
The actor, in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, disclosed that Ogogo told him a few hours before his death to stop crying, that nothing bad will happen.
Yinka said, “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.”
