Veteran Nollywood actress Joke Silva and wife of veteran actor Olu Jacobs, has dismissed rumors of her husband’s death, affirming that he is alive and well.
This is the second time false reports of the legendary Nigerian actor’s death have circulated on social media.
Responding to an SMS inquiry from our reporter, Joke Silva stated, “My husband is alive and doing just fine.”
A reliable source close to the family, who preferred anonymity, informed Vanguard over the phone that the President of the AGN (Actors Guild of Nigeria) confirmed speaking with Joke Silva today for over an hour, during which no mention of such news arose.
“Somebody who has lost a husband cannot be that chatty and Gail on phone,” the source remarked.
Additionally, Betty Irabor, a family associate, has also refuted the rumor.
Channels TV further debunked the rumor with a broadcast showing them interviewing the actor himself, who confirmed his well-being and mentioned his plans to visit Ikoyi Club later in the evening.
