Recently, rumors about the death of veteran Nigerian actor Olu Jacobs resurfaced on social media, prompting his family and the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to issue statements debunking these claims. His Team took to social media to assure fans that Jacobs is alive and well, enjoying time at home with his loved ones.
In a more personal rebuttal, Jacobs appeared in a video where he humorously shaved his hair, further proving he is in good health. This act was meant to counter the persistent death rumors, which had caused significant distress among his fans and the Nollywood community.
Olu Jacobs, who has been battling dementia for several years, has remained mostly out of the public eye, making occasional appearances such as at his 80th birthday celebration and in videos shared by friends and colleagues.
