Veteran actor Olu Jacobs has turned 82 weeks after he was rumoured dead on social media.
His wife Joke Silva, an actress, wrote a tribute to him to celebrate the milestone.
In the early hours of Thursday, Joke shared a video on Instagram which captured her husband during his youthful days. The video also showed him admiring his house coat.
Joke prayed for her husband that he would continue to enjoy good health.
“82 just like that. Agba ko ni nira l’agbara Jesu…Happy birthday and have an amazing year ahead me darling… Sir J of life @_olujacobs (loving his customized house coat …thanks a mill @thegardentheatre Tosin Otudeko),” she wrote.
Last month, Olu Jacobs was rumoured dead on social media.
The family however released videos to debunk the rumour.
In a 19-second video, Olu is seen getting his beard shaved while his son informs him about the rumour of his death. The actor appeared surprised about it.
Soji Jacobs, son of the veteran actor, spoke to Gossipinfoinfo on the phone as the false news of his father’s death was trending on social media.
According to Soji, “The family is tired of this rumour that keeps recurring every year.”
