The president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Emeka Rollas has said that he wanted to sue actress and producer Adanma Luke for the death of actor Pope Odonwodo, aka Junior Pope.
After he reviewed the contract the late actor and Luke signed, it became impossible for him to sue her because only Junior Pope’s family had the right to do so.

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.
He revealed that when Junior Pope died, he discovered that the deceased had not paid his monthly dues for one year. Hence, he advised members of the guild to pay whatever they were owing.

“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.”
