Patience Ozokwor, a veteran Nollywood actress, has expressed deep sadness after missing the funeral of her late colleague, the late actor Olu Jacobs. The actress said she was unable to attend the ceremony because she was bound by contractual obligations in Ghana.
Jacobs, a respected figure in Nigerian cinema, passed away earlier this year, prompting tributes from fellow actors and fans across the industry. Though Ozokwor could not be present, she publicly mourned the loss of a fellow artist who had contributed significantly to the film community.
Ozokwor’s absence was due to commitments in Ghana, where she was filming a project at the time of the funeral. She conveyed her regret over not being able to pay her respects in person.
The Nigerian film community continues to remember Jacobs for his extensive body of work and his influence on generations of actors.
