Jnr Pope: Arrest his producer, boat driver now, popular Nollywood producer tells police

A movie producer, Stanley Ontop, has called for the immediate arrest of his colleague, Adamma Luke, over the death of Nollywood actor John Paul Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope.
Recall Junior Pope who drowned while attempting to cross the River Niger during the making of a movie titled “The Other Side Of Life” being produced by Adamma Luke, had finally been confirmed dead.
The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, confirmed Jr Pope’s death in an Instagram post in the early hours of Thursday.
Naijablitznews had reported that the 39-year-old actor and some others drowned in the Delta State axis of River Niger while coming back from a movie location in a boat.
Reacting to the tragic death of the actor, Stanley, who said he witnessed the incident and was involved in taking Junior Pope to the hospital in Asaba, the Delta State capital, called for the arrest of the producer and the boat driver, who is said to be alive.
Taking to his Instagram page on Thursday to demand the arrest of Adamma Luke and the boat driver, Stanley lambasted Nollywood producers, saying they are the worst producers in the entertainment industry, especially the Asabawood.
He said they are fond of not spending enough funds on movie cast and crew, adding that if an actor complained too much on set, they would be blacklisted immediately.
He wrote, “Arrest the producer. Arrest the boat driver. Nollywood producers are the worst part of producers in the entertainment. They like managing funds on cast and crew.
“If you complain too much on set, you will be blacklisted immediately. Nollywood; no love for one another, especially Asabawood.”
Ibom Focus earlier reported that the AGN National President, Rollas announced the indefinite suspension of the movie being filmed when the tragic incident occurred and banned actors from working with Adamma Luke as a producer till further notice.

Mohbad’s ally, Spending queries wife Wunmi for hiding vital details of cause of his death

A close friend of the late singer Mohbad, known as Spending, has made shocking allegations against the artist’s wife, Wunmi, questioning her role in the events leading to his tragic passing.
In a series of Instagram story posts, Spending claimed that Wunmi misrepresented Mohbad’s final moments and engaged in actions that raised suspicions.
Recounting the incident of September 10, 2023, Spending revealed that after Primeboy left Mohbad’s team, only a few individuals were present in the car heading home—Wunmi, Mohbad, their child Liam, Darosha, OG (the driver), and himself.
According to Spending, Wunmi engaged in a heated argument with Mohbad, physically dragging his clothes despite his injuries from a prior performance.
“You kept screaming and cursing Mohbad. Even Darosha tried to intervene. Your argument escalated to the point where you threatened to end Mohbad’s career, just like Lil Frosh’s career was ended by his girlfriend,” he alleged.
Spending also refuted Wunmi’s claims that she provided first aid to Mohbad after they got home. Instead, he stated that it was Bami, another friend, who bought and applied the necessary treatment to Mohbad’s wounds.
He revealed that at 11 a.m. the following day, Mohbad requested a nurse, as his regular one was unavailable. However, after leaving the house, Spending was later shocked to hear that Mohbad had died.
“The last time I saw Mohbad alive was around 11 a.m. on Monday. The next thing I heard was that he had passed away. I saw his lifeless body outside a hospital in Osapa London. It was shocking and unbelievable,” he recounted.
In a particularly startling claim, Spending questioned why Wunmi threw a white item on Mohbad’s coffin, asking if it had any significance.
“You claimed to be protecting him, but why didn’t you protect him when he was alive and needed help?” he asked.
Spending further accused Wunmi of inconsistencies in her statements, including:
Her conflicting accounts about the nurse’s visit.
Her denial of being present when Mohbad received his third injection.
“Wunmi, why are you going around with all these false narratives? There is nothing wrong with speaking out, but only if you are being honest,” he concluded.
These allegations have further intensified public scrutiny surrounding Mohbad’s sudden and mysterious death, with fans and family members continuing to demand justice.

Video: ‘Wigs, human hair diabolical, carry misfortune’ – Singer Natalie Okri

British singer, Natalie Okri has stated that some human hairs are sacrifices to deities and unknown gods.
The singer made this claim while speaking on why she stopped wearing wigs.
According to her, in some parts of Asia, women offer their hair at the temple to purify themselves, to shed bad luck and poverty.
Natalie Okri in a video shared on her Instagram page, explained that some of these human hairs are often sold to big vendors. She noted that black women purchasing them might be wearing someone else’s bad luck unknowingly.
“There are 3 reasons why I stopped wearing wigs and human hairs: some human hairs are sacrifice to demons, deities and other unknown gods.
“A lot of women in some countries like Asia, they go to the temple to sacrifice their hair to their god, believing that their gods will purify and cleanse them. They gave their hair as a form of getting rid of bad luck, poverty and every other thing stressing them and they started life anew.
“Those working in the temple take their hair and sell it off to the European market or to different big vendors like Ali Baba, Ali Express and different brands. And we black women go to those websites to buy these hairs at hundreds of pounds.
“We are wearing someone’s bad luck on our heads. You may not believe in their god but as a Christian, that works against what I believe in, because we see them as demons and deities.”
Natalie Okri is a British singer, who rose to fame in 2009 after performing at Britain’s Got Talent.
