In a video shared by his family, veteran actor Olu Jacobs, who appeared frail and struggled with his speech, vehemently denied recent reports of his passing.
The footage showed Jacobs receiving a haircut from his son, who asked him to confirm his whereabouts, saying, “Hello, dad, can you hear me? They said you died.” Jacobs responded, “I can hear, no, it’s a lie – I’m alive.”
The son continued, “We’re going to Ikoyi Club today, and they’ll see you, all those foolish people.” This video debunked widespread rumors of Jacobs’ demise on Sunday, which were promptly dismissed by his family and the Actors Guild of Nigeria.
The video serves as proof of Jacobs’ resilience and his desire to set the record straight, putting an end to speculation about his health.
