In a video, the role interpreter said that he doesn’t know how to swim and he has a phobia of water. This made him carry Fanta to the boat and pour some into the river. When Pope observed what he was doing, he explained his reason.

He added that they were 15 of them in the Adanma Luke movie production The Other Side Of Life but only two of them wore life jackets.

When Junior Pope was making a video in the boat, the driver watched him and wanted to appear in it. TC noted that the driver had ear piece on him and was distracted that he could not see a canoe that collided with his boat.

They all fell into water and he held the rope that holds the boat in dry land. Himself and another struggled to survive using the rope.

TC had a scar on his leg from the accident which he displayed as he made the video.

Stanley Ontop calls for arrest of movie producer

TheTalk.NG earlier reported that a filmmaker Stanley Ontop has called for the arrest of Adanma Luke, the producer of the movie that “took the life” of Junior Pope.

According to him, Adanma did not provide life jackets for the members of the crew and cast, while the boat was inadequate for them.

He noted that movie producers love to manage their resources without caring about the welfare of others.
