Actor Junior Pope has died.
According to reports, four actors including Junior Pope fell into Anam River in Anambra State, on their way to a movie location and their bodies have been recovered.
However, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) debunked the report in an Instagram post in which it was stated that Junior Pope is alive and receiving treatment but the actor was later confirmed dead by the guild’s president Emeka Rollas after all efforts to revive him failed.
The actor had earlier shared a video of himself and others on a boat, on their way to the movie location.
Captioning the video, he wrote: “See me lamenting…The risk we take to entertain you; crossing river 9ja yesterday with no life jacket…. Na wahooooo Who does that ??”
The 39-year-old was married to Jennifer Awele.
They have three children together.
