In an unexpected turn of events, the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has dispelled the distressing rumors surrounding the demise of Nollywood actor Junior Pope. Initial reports that Pope had perished in a boat accident have been revealed to be unfounded.

The initial wave of panic was triggered by claims that Pope had been involved in a tragic accident on the River Niger in Asaba, Delta State, while en route to a film set accompanied by fellow actors.

Rollas extended heartfelt apologies for the earlier confusion and clarified the situation. He confirmed that the actor experienced a precarious incident but reassured the public and fans that Pope is, in fact, alive and well. The erroneous news had sparked a flurry of concern and mourning among fans and colleagues.

The AGN President took to the media to offer a statement of relief, confirming the actor's safety and urging the public to dismiss the false reports. The guild, representing actors, stands as a beacon of support for one another in such critical times of misinformation.

Rollas’ statement serves as a comforting confirmation to those who hold Junior Pope dear, and it reiterates the necessity of accurate information dissemination, especially concerning matters of life and death.
