Popular Nigerian actor Olu Jacobs has debunked widespread reports of his death.
In a video released by his family, Jacobs, who was struggling with his speech, described the reports as lies.
In the footage, the frail-looking actor was having his hair cut by his son, who asked him, “Hello, dad, can you hear me? They said you died.”
Responding, the actor said: “I can hear, no, it’s a lie – I’m alive.”
Speaking further, the son said: “We are going to Ikoyi Club today and they will see you, all those foolish people.”
It was widely reported that Olu Jacobs passed away on Sunday but his family and the Actors Guild of Nigeria denied the reports.
The Nollywood actor had been reported dead several times in the past few years.
