Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has explained his decision not to file a lawsuit against actress Adanma Luke regarding the death of the late actor Junior Pope.

 

 

 

 

It should be noted that the late actor died alongside four crew members on April 10, 2024, after their boat capsized on the River Niger in Asaba, Delta State, while on their way to movie location.

 

 

 

Junior Pope starred in the ill-fated film ‘The Other Side of Life’, which was produced by actress Adanma Luke

 

 

 

Providing an update on the matter, AGN president Emeka Rollas explained that it became unfeasible for the guild to take legal action against the movie producer because Junior Pope was not a dues-paying member.

 

 

 

Rollas also reviewed the late actor’s contract with the producer and emphasised that only Junior Pope’s direct family or wife had the ability to sue.

 

 

 

In a recent interview on Arise TV, which was posted on X on Saturday, Rollas revealed that he is in the process of reorganizing the guild.
