Junior Pope Didn’t Pay Dues – AGN Gives Update on Late Actor’s Case with Adanma Luke

Emeka Rollas, the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has explained why the guild could not follow through on its threat to sue actress Adanma Luke over the tragic death of actor Pope Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope.

Junior Pope and four crew members lost their lives on April 10, 2024, when their boat capsized on the River Niger in Asaba, Delta State, en route to a movie location. The ill-fated production, The Other Side of Life, was produced by Adanma Luke, who faced suspension from the guild after the incident—a ban that was lifted in August.
