Adanma Luke, the producer of an upcoming movie supposed to feature the late actor Junior Pope, has voluntarily surrendered to the police.
Pope tragically passed away after falling into the River Niger in Asaba, Delta state, alongside other crew members, while en route to a movie location. Adanma Luke is the producer of the ill-fated movie production.
Anambra police spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, clarified that Luke was not arrested but willingly submitted herself for questioning. He added that the two boat drivers involved in the boat mishap are currently in custody as part of the ongoing investigation into Pope’s death.
“We also have in custody the two boat drivers, and interrogation is still ongoing,” Ikenga stated. “Early this morning, we have recovered the other three missing bodies. Further details shall be communicated, please.”
In response to Pope’s tragic passing, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has temporarily suspended all movie productions involving riverine locations. Emeka Rollas, the president of the AGN, has also cautioned filmmakers against collaborating with Luke until further notice.
