Nigerian Entertainment News: “Why I have been Silent about Junior Pope, Crew Members’ Death – Nancy Isime reveals
Nancy Isime, a prominent figure in Nigerian entertainment, has disclosed the reason behind her silence regarding the unfortunate demise of Junior Pope and fellow crew members
Junior Pope passed away on the evening of April 10 following unsuccessful efforts to revive him.
The actor, along with makeup artist Abigail Frederick and the production team, tragically drowned in the Anam River while returning from the shooting of “Another Side of Life,” a film helmed by Adanma Luke.
After maintaining silence on the Nollywood tragedy, Nancy finally addressed the incident on Instagram this Tuesday.
She explained that she had worked with one of the victims but refrained from sharing their images as it contradicts her principle of not publicizing people’s misfortunes.
Furthermore, Nancy Isime extended her prayers to the bereaved families, wishing them strength during this trying time.
She wrote:
“Phew! Last week was tough mehn! The tragedy that hit Nollywood was something I couldn’t even imagine! Felt like a horror movie script.
“Hit me a little hard because I had filmed with one of the victims not too long ago. Pardon me but I won’t be calling names, going into details or posting pictures. If you don’t know about the disaster, good for you. Trust me!
“It’s SO Sad! I however have a policy to not announce people’s tragedies. It’s not my place. Especially if I barely talked about their Victories. They have families who deserve the right to tell the story how they please, if and how they want to.”
In another post, Nancy Isime added:
“Praying that God wraps his arms around their families. SO tight! So tight that they feel a kind of peace that they can’t even explain. I lost my mum donkey years ago and it still hurts like she just left the house yesterday, I know asking God to take away the pain is a Lie.
“My prayer is that God helps them deal with their pain a way that it doesn’t get in the way of their daily lives, and that he preserves their mental health, their hearts and their spirit. May He give them some kind of closure.”
