Last Tuesday, rumours had swirled on social media platforms that Jacobs had died after battling with an undisclosed sickness.
Joke had earlier dismissed the speculations, adding that her husband remains “hale and hearty”.
Abubakar Yakubu, national secretary of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), also asked the public to disregard the death rumour.
“Please disregard the report. Uncle Olu is alive, hale and hearty. Confirmed,” he had said.
The actor had been in the news on several occasions over similar death speculations.
In June last year, the AGN had also dismissed such rumours and warned “mischief makers” to desist from such “wickedness.”
“The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria is in touch with the family. We use this medium to warn mischief makers and enemies of our industry to desist from this wickedness,” it had said.
