Actors Guild of Nigeria to sue producer of the movie that caused Junior Pope's demise

Following the tragic demise of popular Nollywood actor, Junior Pope and his co-crew members, who were involved in a boat accident and drowned on their way to a movie set on April 10, 2024, the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN has hinted at taking legal action against the movie producer, Adanma Luke and the Association of Movie Producers.

Since the unfortunate incident was recorded, the movie industry has not only been thrown into a state of grief but has also been divided on a way forward regarding the safety of actors on set with many blaming the producer of the film Pope was working on, “The Other Side Of Life,” produced by Adamma Luke.

AGN president, Emeka Rollas, who gave the hint, stated that Adanma Luke’s involvement in the incident is actionable.

Adanma was accused of negligence, following claims that she did not provide life jackets for her crew, a claim she later debunked, saying that life jackets were available but Junior Pope rejected his because it was dirty.

Adanma has also been suspended indefinitely by the Association of Movie Producers, AMP, and Actors Guild.

She has since been under 'fire' following the death of actor Junior Pope and three others after their boat capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from the location of her movie, ‘The Other Side of Life.’
