Ogogo: Hundreds Offer Spiritual and Medical Help
According to the statement, the team surrounding Ogogo has been inundated with messages, prayers, and offers of assistance, including spiritual interventions and alternative treatments.
Kosoko revealed that the number of such offers has reached between 300 and 500 individuals, each genuinely convinced they have something that could benefit the actor.
“We have received offers from more than 300, and even over 500 people, each sincerely believing that they have something that could help him,” the statement read.
Despite the overwhelming goodwill, he explained why the team has been unable to follow through with many of these offers. At this advanced stage of his treatment, moving Ogogo from the hospital to various locations poses serious logistical and medical challenges.
“The challenge is simply: Where do we take him to? And how do we move him from the hospital while he is receiving care?” Kosoko noted.
Kosoko Urges Continued Prayers
Kosoko urged well-wishers to keep praying and supporting from wherever they are, expressing strong belief that God’s mercy, combined with collective prayers, would see Ogogo through his current health crisis.
“We believe strongly that, with your prayers, our prayers, and the mercy of Almighty God, Taye will come out of this situation successfully. There is nothing impossible before Almighty God,” he said.
