Rollas made this statement during an interview with Arise TV and he added that he is working toward making the guild to be more structured.

@iam_valebridge:

“Junior Pope died due to Nigeria’s negligence of health and safety. To date, people are still travelling on similar pathetic boats without life jackets. Many are still sinking on a daily basis, and the government has overlooked the safety of its citizens. For me, the director is a victim of Nigerian factors.”
