The Action Guild of Nigeria has revealed the reason it couldn’t sue filmmaker, Adanma Luke over the death of Junior pope.

Daily Report Nigeria recalls that Junior pope, alongside other crew members tragically passed away after a boat conveying them to a movie location capsized on April 10.

On the 11th, Adanma was suspended for breaching safety protocols, and the Guild imposed a ban on films involving riverine areas and boat riding to prevent similar incidents in the future. However, the AGN eventually lifted the ban on Adanma in August.

Speaking during a recent interview on Arise TV, the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas said;

“Update on Junior Pope, you know I was here, and I said we are about to sue. While interacting with our legal adviser, he said that the AGN did not have the locus to sue from the contract Junior Pope signed with the producer. He said either the direct family or the wife should sue the producer,” 

He added that Junior pope had not paid his dues as a member of the AGN at the time of his death.

“We will begin licensing actors because we also found out that even Junior Pope, as of his death, was not a due-paying guild member. He was a big actor who had not paid dues in the last year before his death,” he added

You see big names when they fall sick, they don’t get any help because their financial remuneration from the work they do does not extend to royalties and residuals,” Rollas said. He reiterated the importance of restructuring the industry to ensure that actors are financially supported and protected.
