Some Nollywood stars have continued to mourn the death of Nollywood actor, John Paul Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope.

The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the late actor died with three of his colleagues while returning from a movie location in a boat, when they fell into Anam River in Anambra on Wednesday.

NAN reports that his colleagues took to their social media platforms to mourn Junior Pope who was finally pronounced dead on Wednesday at age 39.

Actress Yvonne Jegede wrote: “I had imagined we would have a thanksgiving service, I was hoping we would flood Asaba to thank God for a second chance but God knows best.

“This is bad for Nollywood. Please we should endeavor to implement safety measures on set.
“I know some production companies do their best to have nurses and health professionals on set.

“But some with small budgets should please consider this and everyone on set not just actors.

“The boat itself isn’t good enough to go the distance. Please while we keep Jnr Pope and family in our prayers, let’s also remember others who died too.”

According to her, any information on the others? We need to honor our own. I’m so broken, this is a nightmare.

“@qutejay I pray for strength for you and the entire family right now.”

Actress Rita Edochie wrote: “At last, after he fought to stay alive, he is gone.

Just when I felt a renewed hope running down my spine.

“The will of God can never be countered. Still very hard to type R.I.P , so I am not saying anything to you because it’s really a dream.

“It is well, God Almighty, we cannot question you, chaiiiiiiiii what a black Wednesday evening😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.”

Filmmaker, Samuel Olatunji wrote: “Junior Pope is gone finally 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭What a sad end. May God console his family”.

The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas confirmed the death of Nollywood actor on his instagram page on Thursday.
