Pete Edochie, a seasoned actor, has expressed his response to the tragic passing of his fellow actor, Junior Pope.
It is worth recalling that a few weeks ago, Junior Pope and four members of the crew lost their lives in a boat accident.
In a video shared online, Pete Edochie emphasized that the life of Junior Pope had been abruptly ended. He described Junior Pope as a remarkable individual who had brought immense joy to the world.
Pete Edochie urged fans to embrace Junior Pope’s spirit and advised them to let go of any unnecessary drama that has surfaced on social media following his untimely demise.
Furthermore, he acknowledged the generous gesture of a well-known businessman, E-Money, who has volunteered to support Junior Pope’s children.
“His life was cut short the way we never expected it; we shall all go someday, but not in this manner.
I want to make a general appeal let us pray to God to accept the soul of Junior Pope and cut out the nonsense people have been putting out on social media.
Let us allow his soul to rest. I am appealing. My son Junior Pope was a gift to the entire world,” Pete said in a video.

Meanwhile, Nigerian billionaire businessman, Emeka Okonkwo, also known as E-money, has committed to support the three sons of the late actor, Jnr Pope, who tragically lost his life in a boat accident.
It is worth noting that Jnr Pope had recorded a video before the accident, pleading with the boat driver to exercise caution and reduce speed, as he was the sole provider for his sons. Unfortunately, he did not survive the accident, leaving behind a wife and three young children.
E-money has taken to Instagram to assure that he will take on the responsibility of caring for Jnr Pope’s children, treating them as his sons.
In his words;
“It has been one week since you departed from this world, leaving behind a profound sense of loss that reverberates not only among us but also across Africa and beyond. Your presence, as both a friend and a brother, is deeply missed, JP.
The weight of your absence bears heavily upon our hearts, yet we draw comfort from the belief that God will grant us the resilience to carry forward and uphold the legacy you’ve entrusted to us.
We tenderly remember your final words on the boat, “NA ONLY ME DEM BORN I GET 3 CHILDREN NA ME GO RAISE THEM,” and we solemnly commit to honoring that vow. Your children now find solace in the embrace of the Okonkwo family, and we, as members of that family, pledge to nurture them as you would have wished.
Your absence leaves a palpable void, JP, and your memory will forever be held dear. Rest peacefully, knowing that you are deeply cherished, and may God’s blessings encompass your soul, your family, and all who hold you in their hearts.
