Meanwhile, Stanley Ontop, a movie producer, has strongly advocated for the immediate arrest of his colleague Adamma Luke in connection with the tragic passing of Nollywood actor John Paul Odonwodo, also known as Junior Pope.

Earlier reports from SaharaReporters confirmed the death of Junior Pope, who drowned while filming a movie titled “The Other Side Of Life” produced by Adamma Luke during an attempt to cross the River Niger.

Emeka Rollas, the National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), officially announced Jr Pope’s demise in an Instagram post on Thursday morning.

The 39-year-old actor, along with others, tragically drowned in the River Niger in Delta State while returning from a movie shoot location in a boat.

In response to the heartbreaking incident, Stanley, who was present during the tragedy and assisted in rushing Junior Pope to the hospital in Asaba, the capital of Delta State, has called for the immediate arrest of the producer and the boat driver, who reportedly survived.

In a statement on his Instagram page on Thursday, Stanley criticized Nollywood producers, labeling them as the worst in the entertainment industry, particularly those in Asabawood.

He pointed out their tendency to underpay and mistreat movie cast and crew, warning that actors who voice their concerns on set are quickly blacklisted.

He wrote:

Arrest the producer. Arrest the boat driver. Nollywood producers are the worst part of producers in the entertainment. They like managing funds on cast and crew.

“If you complain too much on set, you will be blacklisted immediately. Nollywood; no love for one another, especially Asabawood.”

Rollas, in a statement released on Thursday, made it known that the movie being filmed was indefinitely suspended following the tragic incident.

Additionally, he imposed a ban on actors working with Adamma Luke as a producer until further notice. Furthermore, Rollas announced the indefinite suspension of any film that involves riverine areas and boat riding.
