It is no longer news that the actor died two weeks ago after drowning in the Anam River while returning from a movie shoot. The beloved actor, along with five others, died from the boat mishap.
His death left many of his colleagues heartbroken as they flooded their timelines mourning him.

Regina Daniels shared a collage of videos of the actor, stating that the late actor’s nugget comfort would be that he left a world filled with love and support for the ones closest to his heart.
Veteran actress Rita Edochie refused to celebrate her birthday this year as she dedicated it in memory of Junior Pope. She noted how the late actor never missed her birthdays.
Alex Ekubo had written a heartfelt note, revealing that the tragedy of the boat accident had left him in shock as he noted how the day of Junior Pope’s death coincided with his birthday.
The late actor’s family released his funeral arrangements last week. He will be laid to rest on May 17th, 2024, in his hometown of Enugu State.
Many eagle-eyed fans noticed that on the obituary poster, ‘husband’, was noticeably absent, which left tongues wagging as, before his demise, Junior Pope was married to Jennifer Awele, and they have three sons.
Speaking out, his family made it known that the burial poster wasn’t authorized by them and had hinted at correcting it.
