It will be recalled that there were rumours that Jacob died in 2021 until he attended the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) in November 2021, where he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
His wife, Joke Silva, later revealed in an interview with Chude Jideonwo that he was battling Dementia with Lewy bodies. After debunking the news, Silva threatened legal action against those spreading the information.
