President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, has revealed how Junior Popes mother refused to believe her son drowned to death.

Recall that the late actor died on April 10 along with four other team members while commuting by water for Adanam Lukes next film The Other Side of Life.

In a recent interview, Emeka Rollas discussed Junior Popes Cameroonian mothers surprise that her son drowned.

I was with his mother yesterday, and all the rumors online are making her feel that her son was killed. I had to let her know that I was also supposed to be in the boat.

According to Emeka Rollas, CPR was conducted on Junior Pope immediately, he was brought out of the water after four hours.

Anybody that said they didnt perform CPR on Jnr Pope is a liar. He was brought out dead after spending over 4 hours under the water, he said. (The Nation)
