Adanma Luke Reveals What Happened On The Day Junior Pope Died

Meanwhile, Nollywood actress and producer, Adanma Luke has finally spoken out about the tragic boat accident that claimed the lives of actor Junior Pope and four other crew members.

The accident occurred on the River Niger while the team was returning from the shooting location of the film “The Other Side of Life.”

In a series of emotional videos posted to her Instagram page on Saturday, Luke disclosed that she narrowly missed being on the ill-fated boat due to a last-minute task.

“I was supposed to be on that boat with them,” she explained, “but my Director of Production told me to bring the memory card used for the filming.”

This twist of fate saved her from being part of the tragic accident that unfolded shortly thereafter.

Luke also shared that this was her first time working with the late Junior Pope. Overcome with grief, she expressed feelings of guilt for choosing to shoot the movie in Asaba, Delta State, where the accident took place.
