I’m alive – Olu Jacobs breaks silence on rumoured death

Popular Nigerian actor Olu Jacobs has debunked widespread reports of his death.

In a video released by his family, Jacobs, who appeared frail and struggled with his speech, described the reports as lies. In the footage, the actor was getting a haircut from his son, who asked him, “Hello, dad, can you hear me? They said you died.”

Responding, Jacobs said, “I can hear. No, it’s a lie – I’m alive.”

His son further commented, “We are going to Ikoyi Club today, and they will see you, all those foolish people.”

Reports circulated widely that Olu Jacobs had passed away on Sunday, but his family and the Actors Guild of

Nigeria denied these claims. The Nollywood actor has been falsely reported dead several times in recent years.
