She revealed that the hospital treating the actor had stopped his treatment because of the seriousness of his condition.
According to her, doctors had also stopped administering chemotherapy to the actor.
Shaki said the family was not primarily seeking financial assistance but needed someone who could provide medical treatment for her father.
She said, “My daddy has cancer and it is at stage 4. The hospital is saying that they cannot treat him again and that they can’t give him chemo again.
“Please, we are not here to need money. What I’m here for is that if you can treat my daddy medically or traditionally, please, I’m begging in the name of God, help us.
“My daddy doesn’t want to die. Please, I don’t want my daddy to die. He’s in pain. He’s not happy. Please, guys, I’m begging you, if you know anybody that can treat cancer.”
Shaki also appreciated Senator Yayi for reportedly taking responsibility for her father’s medical expenses.
She appealed to anyone with access to appropriate cancer treatment to come forward and assist the family.
In a separate Instagram post, Ogogo’s second daughter, Haleemah, disclosed that the family only became aware of their father’s diagnosis about three weeks ago.
The family is now seeking further medical assistance as the actor continues to battle the illness.
