Veteran Nollywood actress Joke Silva has broken her silence following the passing of her husband, legendary actor Olu Jacobs.
The movie star took to her Instagram page on Wednesday in an emotional tribute.
She posted a throwback photograph of herself and Jacobs on Instagram, accompanied by a white heart and praying hands emojis, in a quiet but moving expression of grief.
The late Olu Jacobs is being honoured at a Night of Tributes at the Glover Memorial Hall in Lagos today.
His funeral service is scheduled to hold on Friday, October 2, at 10 am at This Present House, Freedom Way, Lekki Phase I, Lagos.
The Nigerian Voice recalls that Joke Silva's husband and legendary actor Olu Jacobs, widely regarded as one of the godfathers of Nollywood, died at the age of 84.
His son, Olusoji Jacobs, announced the sad news on Instagram, on Wednesday, September 16, stating that the family announced his passing with gratitude to God for a life well lived and fought.
The statement described him as a dear husband, father, grandfather, and uncle, referring to him as "The Lion of Lufodo." It confirmed that he lived from July 11, 1942, to September 16, 2026, and urged bloggers and social media influencers to respect the family's privacy during this difficult time.
