In a video released by his family, Jacobs, who was experiencing difficulty with his speech, refuted the rumors.
In the footage, the actor, looking frail, was having his hair cut by his son, who asked him, “Hello, dad, can you hear me? They said you died.”
Jacobs replied, “I can hear, no, it’s a lie – I’m alive.”
His son added, “We are going to Ikoyi Club today and they will see you, all those foolish people.”
Earlier reports had falsely claimed that Olu Jacobs had passed away on Sunday, despite denials from his family and the Actors Guild of Nigeria.
