Veteran Nollywood actress, Joke Silva, has finally spoken about the state of health of her husband, Olu Jacobs, also a veteran.
Recall that there were speculations that the actor was sick after pictures of him went viral on the social media.
The screen diva in an interview with Chude Jideonwo disclosed that Olu Jacobs has Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).
According to her, “This has been going on for a couple of years. My husband is dealing with issues and it is been going on for a couple of years. It is known as Dementia with Lewy Body.
“It is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson type of disease; it affects the brain and affects the person.
Silva asserted that it’s been hard on her husband because he doesn’t understand what is going on and also on family members as well.
“We have gone through it over the past couple of years but we thank God.
“We had gone through some times and situations recently… but we are grateful for the moment of clarity. I miss the times we worked together,” he demurred.
