The rumour gained traction on social media alongside a video and photographs suggesting that Kira had welcomed a child shortly after her father’s death and burial.
However, members of the family moved to clarify that the circulating content was misleading.
According to reports, the family stressed that there had been no recent childbirth and appealed to bloggers and social media users to respect their privacy during the period of mourning.
Further checks by some media platforms indicated that the video and images being circulated were old materials linked to an earlier period, not a recent event following Ogogo’s death.
The development comes amid widespread public interest in the family following the death of the popular Yoruba actor.
The family has now called on the public to avoid spreading false information and allow them space to mourn their father.
The incident has also renewed concerns over the rapid spread of unverified celebrity news on social media, particularly during periods of grief and public attention.
