It has been made public the last conversation between late Nollywood actor John Paul Odonwodo, often referred to as Junior Pope, and his colleague Dave Ogbeni. Junior Pope died in the Anam River in Anambra State along with four other crew members.
On Wednesday, April 10, the Nollywood actor and the crew got involved in an accident while departing the movie location on a boat.
On Saturday, Dave shared on Instagram that he had spoken with Junior Pope about sharing his tale with bloggers, but he had advised him to wait as there was still a chance to resolve the matter privately.
Dave said the deceased actor had opened up to him about dying gradually since December last year.
He wrote, “On the day before the incident, we were drinking together after watching Arsenal/Bayern Munich match, Junior Pope said Dave I think it’s time I told the bloggers my story. I said Bro, it hasn’t gotten to that; we can settle this without the world knowing. He looked me in the eyes and said what do you mean, since December? I’m dying gradually, and you’re telling me not to tell the world? If I die you will be the one to tell the world my story then, he died the next day.”
Meanwhile, there have been unconfirmed reports that Junior Pope and his wife were no longer living together before the tragic incident.
