The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has again debunked rumours veteran actor Olu Jacobs is dead.
On Tuesday 5th October, there were rumours on social media platforms that the movie star had died after battling with an undisclosed sickness.
But in a text message sent to TheCable Lifestyle, Abubakar Yakubu, AGN’s national secretary, called on the public to disregard the speculations.
Yakubu said the 79-year-old actor, whom he addressed as “Uncle Olu”, is not dead but “hale and hearty.”
“Please disregard the report. Uncle Olu is alive, hale and hearty. Confirmed,” He wrote.
In June last year, the AGN had debunked similar rumours of Jacobs’ death. The guild had also warned “mischief makers” to desist from such “wickedness.”

“The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria is in touch with the family. We use this medium to warn mischief makers and enemies of our industry to desist from this wickedness,” The guild wrote.
A few weeks ago, Nollywood fans raised concern over the visibly emaciated frame of Olu Jacobs in a new video.
The actor had paid a surprise visit to his actress wife Joke Sylva on set where she was working alongside Uche Jombo.
Jacobs, who is one of the most respected actors in Nigeria’s movie industry, was seen in the video looking a lot older and had lost a lot of weight.
