Barely four months after popular actor Junior Pope passed on, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has lifted the suspension on actress Adanma Luke, including the ban on filming in riverine areas.
Adanma Luke is a movie director and producer, who produced the movie, ‘The Other Side of Life’, in which the late actor Junior Pope starred.
Junior Pope alongside four crew members on April 10 2024 as their boat capsized in the River Niger in Asaba, Delta state on their way to the movie location.
This unfortunate incident led the AGN to suspend Luke for breaching safety regulations and banned other players from working with her.
However, in a statement by the AGN National Secretary, Abubakar Yakubu, the suspension has been lifted on Luke.
“The National President of the Guild, Dr. Ejezie Emeka Rollas, MON, uses this opportunity to announce the lifting of the suspension placed on Adanma Luke, producer of the movie ‘Another Side of Life,’ where star actor Junior Pope and four other crew member lost their lives in Anam river.
