Mix reactions have trailed the unbanning of Nollywood actress Adanma Luke by the Actors Guild of Nigeria AGN following the death of Junior Pope.
Refreshing your memory, Junior Pope had lost his life along with others while they were returning from a movie set at Anam River, Anambra. Following his death, AGN released a public statement banning actors and actresses from starring in Adanma Luke’s movies till further notice. Her movie, which claimed the life of Junior Pope and crew members, was also suspended indefinitely.
Additionally, all movies involving riverine areas and boat riding have been suspended indefinitely and no Nollywood practitioner is expected to hold any shoot today, April 11th.
Barely four months after the order, the Guild has pardoned Adanma. AGN’s National Secretary, Abubakar Yakubu, noted that this decision was revealed during the guild’s National Executive Council meeting.
The statement reads, “The National President of the Guild, Dr. Ejezie Emeka Rollas, MON, use this opportunity to announce the lifting of the suspension placed on Adanma Luke, producer of the movie ‘Another Side of Life,’ where star actor Junior Pope and four other crew members lost their lives in Anam river.”
“The President also lifted the ban on filming in riverine areas but cautioned members to apply all safety standard measures recommended in the AGN Bylaws.”
The unbanning of Adanma Luke has created a stir online, with many noting how Junior Pope lost his life for nothing.
