Immediately after the tragic death of Nollywood star actor, Junior Pope and four others in a boat mishap on their way (abi dem dey come back sef) to a film location, the Actors Guild of Nigeria leadership under Emeka Rollas, T4T read, ordered the suspension of the producer of the movie.

The AGN also suspended all scenes that have to do with rivers. Really?
So, if Junior Pope and the others had died in a car accident, the guild would have also suspended all movie scenes that would involve the use of cars? Is someone allowing some raw emotions to cloud his sense of reasoning here?
