Junior Pope met his untimely demise on April 10 after he fell into the River Niger in Asaba, Delta state while on his way to a movie shoot.

In response to the tragedy, AMP’s national president, Blessing Ebigieson, announced the immediate suspension of Adanma Luke and the formation of a nine-member committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding Pope’s death and that of the other individuals involved.
