The Association of Movie Producers (AMP) has declared the immediate suspension of Adanma Luke, the producer associated with the upcoming movie project linked to the untimely death of actor Junior Pope.
Pope’s death occurred tragically on April 10, following an
incident where he fell into the River Niger in Asaba, Delta state while en
route to a movie shoot.
Accompanied by fellow crew members, Pope’s accident prompted
AMP’s national president, Blessing Ebigieson, to announce the formation of a
nine-member committee tasked with investigating the circumstances surrounding
Pope’s death and that of the other individuals involved.
The statement said Luke had been advised to “suspend all
work pending the submission of the investigations report and the final decision
is taken”.
AMP expressed condolences to the families affected by the
boat mishap, describing the news as profoundly shocking and unexplainable.
“The news of the boat mishap got to us as a rude shock
without comprehension,” the statement reads.
“Following this tragic incident, AMP has set up a nine-man
committee to investigate all activities that led to the death of these
practitioners on the set of the movie, Another side of Life!
“Meanwhile, the producer, Adamma Luke, is hereby advised to
suspend all work pending on the submission of the investigations report, and
the final decision is taken.
“As we mourn our fellow filmmakers, we ask for calm from all
sectors, stakeholders, and the public.”
