The death of popular Nollywood actor, Junior Pope has left many people in shock, heartbroken and at the same time raised questions.
Since the actor and the other three died by drowning in the unfortunate boat accident that happened on Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a movie location, many people have blamed the producer of the movie ‘The Other Side Of Life’, Adanma Luke for not giving them a life jacket.
However, speaking in a video message Adanma shared on her Instagram page, she said; “My director was on life jacket, Emeka the DOP was also on life jacket. There was still one life jacket available, I don’t know who took it.”
“My producer manager said they saw life jackets hanging and they took them. He said he even asked the late Friday to take one to Junior Pope but Junior Pope said it was dirty so he didn’t take it.”
“Those with life jackets survived the boat mishap. And they also told me that when they were in the water trying to survive, Junior Pope was also there asking, ‘Is everybody okay? Hope everybody is fine?’ They said they even threw a gallon to him to use and hold himself which he was holding but all of a sudden they didn’t see him again.”
“It was when they came out that they noticed that he was no longer there. They said divers came and reduced some of them while other divers were still there trying to rescue others.”
“I said what could have caused this accident? They said they don’t know but TC was standing on the speed boat ringing bell.”
