In light of the ongoing criticism surrounding the tragic death of actor Junior Pope, Nollywood actress and filmmaker Adanma Luke has issued a public apology to the Nigerian populace.
In a recently circulated video on social media, Adanma expressed her sorrow and accepted accountability for the incident that claimed the lives of Junior Pope and others, pleading for forgiveness from Nigerians.
“I have come to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry Nigerians. I took away your loved ones from what people are saying. I’m so sad that this happened on my movie set. Inasmuch as I’m trying to be very strong I’m not seeing myself to be strong.“I’m so sad that they have to work for me when the incident happens. But I’m not God. It was destined to happen. A lot of people have been dragging me.
“Nigerians I’m not okay again, I don’t know what is happening to me, I didn’t plan what happened to Junior Pope and the crew members. Please forgive me,” she cried.
It is important to note that Junior Pope passed away on April 10, 2024, along with four crew members when their boat capsized in the River Niger in Asaba, Delta State, while en route to a filming location.
Adanma Luke served as the producer of the ill-fated film, ‘The Other Side of Life,’ in which the late actor Junior Pope featured.
