Veteran Nigerian actress Joke Silva has once again debunked reports of her husband, Olu Jacobs’ death.
In a post shared on her Instagram story, the actress revealed that the revered actor is alive and well at home and in the company of his family and loved ones.
Her post followed rumours on social media that the octogenarian had passed away after recently celebrating his 80th birthday.
However, Joke Silva, who did not take those rumours lightly, threatened to sue persons who peddle such falsehoods.
“The Jacobs clan would love to inform you that Pa J (Olu Jacobs MFR) is alive and enjoying himself as always in the comfort of his home and loved ones. To all those that have decided to ignore our last warnings regarding fake news, kindly prepare for legal action,” she wrote.
This is not the first time news of the actor’s death has surfaced on social media.
In October 2021, claims of Olu Jacobs' death had taken over the internet for days leaving many fans and celebrities alike worried about the actor.
In an interview with The Punch Newspaper at the time, Joke Silva noted that Olu Jacobs is hale and hearty adding that the rumour peddlers were just deceiving themselves.
Later in November, the veteran actress revealed that Olu Jacobs has dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
According to her, “this has been going on for a couple of years. My husband is dealing with issues and it is been going on for a couple of years. It is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson's type of disease, it affects the brain and affects the person.”
In July 2022, the family of Olu Jacobs held a star-studded birthday party to mark his 80th birthday.
