Nollywood Actress, Kate Henshaw, has debunked the rumour of her senior colleague and veteran Olu Jacob's death.
For the umpteenth time, rumours about the ailing actor's death broke and circulated on Nigerian social media on the afternoon of Sunday, June 30, 2024.
Jacobs is currently bogged down by dementia as revealed by his actress wife, Joke Silva, during a conversation with Mercy Johnson on an episode of Mercy’s Menu in January 2023.
Silva said she committed Jacobs’ health to God in prayers and also adopted herbal medication.
She and the children have reportedly been looking after the thespian at home.
Meanwhile, since her revelation last year, rumours about the death of the ace actor and film executive have continued to surface on social media.
Responding to the Sunday episode, Henshaw confirmed that Jacobs is alive and kicking.
The actress also condemned the repeated peddling of rumours about the actor’s death, noting that it's unfair to the family.
