A Nigerian columnist, Betty Irabor, made this known in a message posted on her social media account on Sunday.

“Olu Jacob is well and alive.. please ignore all rumours of his passing. He is alive please,” she wrote.

Olu Jacobs has been off the movie screens but made a public appearance at Africa International Film Festival Awards (AFRIFF) in Lagos, looking frail.

The actress in an interview with Chude Jideonwo aired on Channels Television revealed that her husband has been battling with Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) for a couple of years.

“He is dealing with issues and it has been going on for a couple of years. It is known as dementia with Lewy Body. It is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson’s type of disease, it affects the brain so you don’t see the shaking. It affects the person,” she said.
