TC, one of the survivors of the boat mishap that killed
Nollywood actor, Pope Obumneme Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope, has
recounted his last minutes before the incident.
TC disclosed that lack of experience on the part of the
person sailing the boat led to the accident.
Four actors, including Junior Pope, died when their boat
capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a movie
location.
The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas,
confirmed Junior Pope’s death on Thursday and stated that three other corpses
are yet to be found.
However, speaking during an Instagram Live session, TC said:
“Before I entered the boat, the first thing Junior Pope asked me was ‘What am
I doing?’ And I said I was observing the water people. I can’t pass without
sharing something. I have given them Fanta, so I don’t want anything bad to
happen to me. Junior Pope agreed.
“While we were going, the boat guy was wearing an earpiece,
and Junior Pope was doing a video, I saw a small canoe with fishermen in front
and due to his lack of experience, he drove right into the last point of the
canoe and we somersaulted.”
