Stanley Ontop, a filmmaker, has called for the arrest of actress and filmmaker Adanma Luke, whose film The Other Side Of Life featured late Nollywood actor Pope Odonwodo, also known as Junior Pope, along with a number of other actors.
Recall that on Wednesday, April 10, at Anam River, Anambra state, a mishap occurred on the boat transporting the cast and crew, resulting in the deaths of some, including Junior Pope.
Stanley claims that although the boat was only meant to carry six passengers, it ended up carrying fifteen people at once. He also mentioned how much Nigerian filmmakers, particularly those from Asabawood, enjoy resource management. Anyone who files a complaint faces blacklisting inside the business.
In addition, he stated that the boat driver need to be detained in addition to Adanma because nobody else on board had a life jacket.
Below is Stanley’s post about the boat incident:
