The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has finally confirmed the d3ath of Nollywood actor, John Paul Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope
The actor, alongside three others, tragically passed away after their boat capsized in the Anam River in Anambra state while returning home from locations.
However, in a now-deleted post late Wednesday, the National President of the Action Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, revealed that the actor was still alive and not dead.
But in a new turn of events on Thursday, the AGN President finally confirmed the death of the actor and apologized for his earlier post suggesting that he was still alive.
According to him, his now-deleted post was a result of excitement after noticing tingling in the actor’s fingers.
Confirming the death earlier on Thursday via his official Instagram account, Emeka Rollas said two reputable hospitals did everything within their capacity to revive the actor’s life to no avail.
He also revealed that while the body of Junior Pope has been recovered, that of three other actors who also lost their lives in the incident is still missing.
He wrote,
“It’s so so sad that our joy was short lived.
My first post was out of excitement when we noticed his tingling fingers. Two notable hospitals tried their best to revive him but to no avail. God knows the best.
We finally lost him. Mr Friday’s corpse has been identified but three other corpses are yet to be found.”
