Junior Pope's burial sees AGN prohibiting 'unnecessary' pictures and video recordings.

 Ahead of Junior Pope's burial service, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has enforced a ban on the capture of insignificant photos and videos. AGN President Emeka Rollas, in a Tuesday Instagram post, cautioned that all bloggers and press members must obtain accreditation from the family.

He wrote on his page:

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. Chief Kenneth Ifekudu [Agbalanze] and of course Lady Ada Anene [ Ada Ozubulu] for all the support.”

Despite multiple efforts to resuscitate him, Junior Pope was declared deceased on the night of April 10. Alongside makeup artist Abigail Frederick and additional production crew members, the actor tragically drowned in the Anam River while returning from the set of "Another Side of Life," a film overseen by Adanma Luke.
