The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, Emeka Rollas, has lifted the suspension on Adanma Luke, the producer of the ill-fated movie ‘The Other Side of Life’, in which the deceased Nollywood actor John Paul Odonwodo, also known as Junior Pope, starred.
Recall that Junior Pope and four other crew members drowned after their boat capsized at the waterside of River Niger Cable Point, Asaba, Delta State, while returning from the movie set on 10 April.
Following the incident and tragic deaths, the AGN indefinitely suspended Miss. Luke for breaching safety protocols and prohibited its members from working with the producer until further notice.
The guild also banned films involving riverine areas and boat riding to ensure the safety of actors and crew members by preventing similar incidents from occurring in the future.
She was pardoned four months after being barred from participating in any film production.
According to a statement from AGN’s National Secretary, Abubakar Yakubu, this decision was revealed during the guild’s National Executive Council meeting.
