However, Joke Silva who did not take those rumours lightly threaten to sue persons who peddle such falsehoods.
“The Jacob clan would love to inform you that Pa J (Olu Jacobs MFR) is alive and enjoying himself as always in the comfort of his home and loved ones. To all those that have decided to ignore our last warnings regarding fake news, kindly prepare for legal action,” she wrote.
This is not the first time news of the actor’s death has surfaced on social media.

According to her, “this has been going on for a couple of years. My husband is dealing with issues and it is been going on for a couple of years. It is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson’s type of disease, it affects the brain and affects the person.”
In July 2022, the family of Olu Jacobs held a star-studded birthday party to mark his 80th birthday.
