Popular Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo has argued that the death of her colleague, Junior Pope, is part of the risks associated with movie industries all over the world, insisting that movie producer, Adanma Luke was not “careless.”
TheNiche had earlier reported that Luke came under fire following the death of Jnr Pope, after a boat conveying him and others capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from the location of her movie, ‘The Other Side of Life.’
Many Nigerians after the incident said the movie producer was “careless” for failing to provide life jackets for her cast and crew.
Reacting to the development, during an exchange on Instagram with her fans, Ogbodo defended Luke, saying she was not careless, stressing that “mistakes” happen even in Hollywood.

However, after the post found its way online, a fan identified as @miss_airlaa took to the comment section and advised Uche Ogbodo not to get involved in the matter even if the woman in question was her friend.
According to the netizen, she could be scapegoated by Nigerians who had earlier lambasted the movie producer.
Replying the now viral comment on her IG page, the thespian wrote: “She [Adanma Luke] is not a careless producer, mistakes happen, even on Hollywood sets.”
