Junior Pope: How boat accident happened – Survivor narrates (VIDEO)
TC, one of the survivors of the tragic boat accident that claimed the life of Nollywood actor Pope Obumneme Odonwodo, also known as Junior Pope, has recounted the moments leading up to the incident.
According to TC, the mishap occurred due to the lack of experience of the individual steering the boat.
The accident took place on the Anam River in Anambra State as the group was returning from a movie shoot.
The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, confirmed Junior Pope’s death on Thursday and stated that three other corpses are yet to be found.
Speaking during an Instagram Live session, TC said: “Before I entered the boat, the first thing Junior Pope asked me was ‘What I’m I doing?’ And I said I was observing the water people. I can’t pass without sharing something. I have given them Fanta, so I don’t want anything bad to happen to me. Junior Pope agreed.
“While we were going, the boat guy was wearing an earpiece, and Junior Pope was doing a video, I saw a small canoe with fishermen in front and due to his lack of experience, he drove right into the last point of the canoe and we somersaulted.”
