Adanma Luke, a prominent figure in Nollywood film production, has reportedly surrendered herself to the Anambra State Police Command.
Adanma Luke has faced intense scrutiny as the producer on the movie set where Nollywood actor Junior Pope was prominently shooting before the tragic incident in Anam River, where he, along with four crew members, tragically lost their lives.
In a conversation with Linda Ikeji’s blog, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the spokesperson of the state command, disclosed that Adanma voluntarily turned herself in to the police on Thursday, April 11, and provided a statement.
Ikenga mentioned that two boat operators connected to the tragic incident have been apprehended and are currently in police custody.
In a bid to reassure the public that transparency will prevail, Ikenga affirmed that no aspect of the incident would be overlooked.
He further stated that additional members of the movie’s cast and crew will be summoned for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation.
Jnr Pope, the actor, tragically passed away on Wednesday after falling into the River Niger in Asaba, Delta state, while en route to a movie location.
The film star was accompanied by other actors and crew members when the incident occurred. A video, now viral, depicted shirtless TC Virus ringing a bell as their boat sped along the river.
Recalling his ordeal in an Instagram live session, TC Virus shared that before embarking on the boat trip, he performed a ritual to honor the water spirits.
He also alleged that Adanma Luke, the filmmaker, ordered his arrest following a claim by the boat operator that he caused the mishap that led to Pope’s death. While he escaped the mishap, some persons lost their lives.
