Veteran Nollywood actor Oludotun Jacobs is alive and well, dispelling the recent rumors of his death that have been circulating on social media. Nigerian columnist Betty Irabor took to her social media accounts on Sunday to clarify the situation, writing, "Olu Jacobs is well and alive.. please ignore all rumours of his passing. He is alive please."

The false news of Jacobs' death spread quickly online, causing concern among fans and followers. However, this isn't the first time that the actor has been the subject of such unfounded rumors. In June 2020, similar reports trended on platforms like Twitter (now X) and Facebook, only to be debunked by Monalisa Chinda-Coker, then spokesperson of the Actors Guild of Nigeria.

Again, in August 2022, rumors about Jacobs' death resurfaced. His wife, Joke Silva, publicly refuted the claims and even threatened legal action against those responsible for spreading the misinformation. Despite these recurring rumors, Jacobs remains a beloved figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry, and his health updates continue to be a matter of public interest.

Irabor's recent confirmation aims to put an end to the current wave of false reports, reassuring fans that Olu Jacobs is indeed alive and in good health.
