Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, better known as Ogogo, physically slugged it out with an area boy in his hometown, Ilaro in Ogun State, after he tried to extort him.
The popular Yoruba actor quickly explained what transpired on his social media page lest it was misconstrued.
He revealed that he had gone to his hometown of Ilaro to inspect a project when unknown guys walked up to him to solicit for money by hailing him as street boys normally do.
The actor said he offered what he wanted to give them, but one of the guys complained that it was too small and dragged his ‘agbada’ (Male top embroidered garment) threatening he would not leave him till he met his demand.
The actor lost his temper at that point.
Read the full statement by Ogogo below:
“Before bloggers pick this up, let me tell my side of the story and truth. Was in Ilaro my hometown, for an inspection of a project, after which some unknown guys walked up to me for the normal appraisals.
“All these as an actor we hear every day, I offer all I had on me and one of them dragged me by my agbada and demanded for an amount I can’t pay. Asked him to leave me, he said “Do your worse” the rest is story. Please stop harassing actors or entertainers, do you pay anyone for doing your job, No it’s our job too. Accept all we offer when we do. Remember, once a boxer always a boxer”.
