The new mum said that while many people had advised her to be silent and not speak on the matter, she was finding it very hard to heal.

In her words:

“I’m so sad that this had to happen on my set, I’m so sad that they had to come work for me at that particular time. I’m not God, it has been destined to happen, it is meant to happen, but then why me? I never liked the internet drama and all that but this whole thing put me out there. A lot of people have been dragging me, they have been calling ‘Ada don’t talk, Ada let this die, don’t talk’ but I go through a lot, I go through so much, I’m trying to heal but it’s not coming back.

We all loved Junior Pope – Adanma Luke

Speaking further in the touching video, Adanma Luke said that Junior Pope and all the other crew members who died in the process of working for her were all loved.

She explained that when she first went to check the filming location, she asked about live jackets, but they told her that none were available and assured her that nothing was going to happen. Adanma said that she had taken all the blame since the tragedy happened, even though it wasn’t her duty.

“We all loved JP, we all loved others that also lost their lives, my crew members. To shoot that job, I asked for a better location and they took me there. First time going there, I asked ‘why are they not providing live jackets for us’ because we had to go see the place before we went for the main shooting and my BM told me that it’s how they do it there, that a lot of people have been crossing, I wasn’t the first person that shot there, they shoot there all the time. I wasn’t even shooting in the water, it was a means of transportation to the place. It’s not like I did it on purpose, It wasn’t even my duty but I’m taking all the blame, I’m carrying all the cross but please Nigerians I’m sorry, It has happened.”

I’m gradually losing my life – Adanma Luke

Adanma Luke went on to plead with Nigerians to forgive her because she was battling financial and mental health problems. According to her, she is still catering for the families of those who lost their lives and she needs to work to make money.

In her words:

“I didn’t even know what depression was until this whole incident happened, I’m gradually losing my life, I’m regretting a lot of things, I don’t even know how to call people for jobs. Please Nigerians, forgive me, forgive me for employing people for jobs, I don’t even know what to say but I’m sorry, please I’m losing my life. People are even saying I went on vacation, I’m here for business, I travelled to go help myself, I’ve been indoors doing nothing and yet still catering for the families that lost their loved ones. Where do you people expect me to get all these money from? I need to work, I need to make money. My baby wasn’t even up to three months when this thing happened. You all can’t even imagine all what I went through but please Nigerians, forgive me. I know I can’t bring back the dead.”
