How ‘Cartel’ Killed Junior Pope Before His Death — Nollywood Actor Frank Tana Exposed those who k!lled Him
Nollywood actor, Frank Tana, has revealed the struggles that his late colleague, Obumneme Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope, faced in the Nigerian film industry before his death.
THE WHISTLER reported that Junior Pope, along with three others, drowned when their boat capsized in the River Niger while returning from a movie location earlier this week.
In a video shared on Instagram, Tana claimed that Junior Pope’s demise was more than an accident.
According to him, the actor had been “killed” by Nollywood producers whom he described as ‘cartel’ long before his death.
Tana claimed that Junior Pope was blacklisted and frustrated by major producers in the industry, making it difficult for him to secure steady roles in movies.
As a result, the actor was forced to hustle for jobs outside the hub of Nollywood in Asaba, traveling to Enugu, Owerri, and Lagos to find work and put food on his table.
Tana further revealed that it was only through the generosity of a prominent figure, E-money, that Junior Pope was able to acquire a decent car to navigate his struggling career.
