By Anthony Maliki
Contrary to widespread rumours, renown Nollywood actor, Olu Jacob is not dead.
A colleague of his, Kemi Lala Akindoju confirmed in a tweet that he is hale and hearty.
“Uncle Olu Jacobs is alive and well. Very much so. I just got off the phone with him. Please stop spreading fake news,” she wrote.
Similarly, his wife, Joke Silva, an actress, also debunked rumours that her husband has died.
She told a news outfit that her husband is alive and had found the death rumour depressing.
The 77-year-old Olu Jacobs, whose full name is Oludotun Baiyewu Jacobs has been ill for sometime and few days ago asked Nigerians to pray for his recovery.
