Public concern sparked at Ogogo burial
The outing follows weeks of growing concern among fans and industry observers. During the burial of fellow veteran actor Taiwo Hassan earlier this year, Elesho and Shatta Bey were spotted in attendance, and their appearance drew immediate attention online. Many onlookers urged Nollywood stakeholders to step in and ensure the two actors received proper care and support.

Adewale Elesho attends prayer for Ogogo
Legit.ng reported that veteran actor Adewale Elesho attended a prayer session organised by his Nollywood colleagues for ailing actor Ogogo, as members of the industry rallied around their colleague.
However, fans and other observers who watched footage from the gathering were drawn to a visible growth near Elesho’s right eye. The development sparked concern online, with several people commenting on the actor’s appearance.
Some observers noted that the growth appeared noticeably larger than it was the last time Adewale Elesho was seen on a movie set, prompting renewed concern and questions from fans about his well-being.
