Drums were rolled out in far away London, on Wednesday, as one of
Nollywood veteran actors, Olu Jacobs marked his 70th birthday
anniversary in grand style.
Olu Jacobs who was born in July 11, 1942, is currently in London, for the theatre play, “King Must Dance Naked” which they are staging to show solidarity for the Nigerian contingents to the 2012 London Olympic games.
Those who were in London to celebrate the occasion with the highly respected actor were the cast and crew of the play, his beautiful wife, Joke Silva, former AGN president Segun Arinze and another veteran actor, Justice Esiri.
