Reports have it that Nollywood actor popularly known as Jnr. Pope who was earlier reported dead is still alive.

Information has it that the actor was taken to the mortuary where he was rejected by mortuary attendant who said that he was still alive and that the people that brought him should take back and resuscitate him.

But a video making the rounds on Instagram showed a young man on wheels saying that Jnr Pope is still alive.

According to him, they were told to take him to the side of the river and perform some rituals and he would be fine.

The man who was racing for time was seen urging motorists to clear on the road, saying that people were busy taking pictures of Jnr Pope and another man lying by his side instead of taking them to the hospital before he arrived the scene.

Meanwhile, the National President, Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, on his Instagram page confirmed that Jnr. Pope is alive and receiving treatment in the hospital.

Another video posted on Linda Ikeji official Instagram page showed the actor sitting on the ground looking dazed while someone was using something that looked like singlet to fan him as people surrounded him.
