He wrote on his page;
Junior Pope, Nigerian actor
It's a devastating and sorrowful period for the Actors Guild of Nigeria therefore we shall not indulge in any unnecessary picture or video recording that is not by the official photographers at the proceedings of the final journey of our departed colleague. All Press/ Bloggers must be accredited by the family.”
“Special thanks to Hon Peter Aniekwe Udogalanya Member representing the good people of Anambra East & West Federal Constituency, Hon Maureen Gwacham member representing the good people of Oyi & Ayamelum Federal constituency, Hon Peter Ifeanyi Uzokwe member representing the good people of Nnewi North/South & Ekwusigo Federal constituency at the House of representatives.

Junior Pope was pronounced dead on the night of April 10 after multiple attempts to revive him failed. The actor, together with make-up artist Abigail Frederick and other production crew, drowned in the Anam River on their way back from the set of Another Side of Life, a film produced by Adanma Luke.
