Joke Silva strongly debunks Olu Jacobs death rumours, says he is ‘Hale and Hearty

Veteran actress Joke Silva has strongly refuted the claim that her husband and legendary actor, Olu Jacobs is dead. 

News of Jacobs’ alleged demise began trending on Twitter on Tuesday evening with fans asking for clarification from family and colleagues. Although, it is quite unclear how the news broke.

Speaking to the Punch in an exclusive interview, the actress debunked the reports and clarified that the veteran actor was enjoying a nice meal of eba and ogbono soup at the time.

Joke noted that her husband is hale and hearty and rumor peddlers were just deceiving themselves. She also urged Nigerians not to believe bad news and desist from disturbing their heads.

“Don’t mind them, they’re just talking rubbish; don’t disturb your head. He is in the living room right now about to have Eba and Ogbono soup. Let them keep deceiving themselves. He is hale and hearty”

This is coming after the veteran actor, alongside his wife, paid a surprise visit to some of his junior colleagues at a movie set in Lagos.

However, in the video shared, the veteran actor looked so frail and slim while interacting with some of his colleagues which included Uche Jumbo.

Reacting to the video, fans of the actor, expressed their concerns as old age seemed to have taken a huge toll on the once vibrant and energetic actor.
