However, in a recent post, the AGN president apologised for the confusion while affirming the death of the actor, and three others who are still missing.

According to Emeka Rollas, his first post was a result of excitement after noticing movements in Junior Pope’s hands.

He added that he was rushed to two hospitals in Asaba where attempts were made to revive him but all was to no avail.

In his words; “Its so so sad that our joy was shortlived. My first post was out of excitement when we noticed his tingling fingers. Two notable hospitals tried their best to revive him but to no avail. God knows the best. We finally lost him. Mr Friday corpse has been identified but three other corpses are yet to be found.”
