Joke Silva, an actress, and Olu Jacobs, a prominent actor, have refuted claims in the media that her spouse has passed away.
The award-winning actor, who has been ill for years, reportedly joined his ancestors at the age of 82 earlier today, according to widespread reports.
A few hours after the depressing news circulated on social media, Joke Silva, his wife, addressed the issue in an interview.
She claims that her spouse is still very much alive and asks who leaked the information that he had passed away because he is still very much alive.
She asked loved ones and fans to stop sending condolence cards because her spouse is still living.
Thank God, his wife has clarified the situation around the veteran actor’s purported unexpected death, as word of it quickly went viral today.
Remarkably, this isn’t the first time the actor has been falsely claimed to be dead. In 2022, following his 80th birthday, he was declared deceased, but his wife intervened, threatening to file a lawsuit against those making such a claim.
We wait to find out if she does the same.
