Yusuf Lawal, a Nigerian professional footballer and late actor Ogogo’s son in-law, has debunked viral reports that his wife has given birth.
It was widely reported that the footballer’s wife, Kira Taiwo, welcomed a baby boy two days after Ogogo’s death.
Reacting to the development in a disclaimer post on his Instagram story on Wednesday night, Yusuf said: “This is not true.”
While urging the public to stop sharing an unverified report about his family, he wrote, “We’ve been receiving calls and messages from family and friends asking about it, so we felt the need to clarify publicly.
“At a time when our family is mourning the loss of our father, we kindly ask everyone to stop spreading unverified information about our family.”
Newsunplug reports that Ogogo died on Sunday, August 23, 2026 and was buried the following day.
