In a recent Facebook post, a user claims that traditional healers in Anambra have linked Junior Pope’s tragic demise to a movie shot two decades ago. This revelation emerged shortly after news broke of the Nollywood actor's drowning incident.
According to the shared post, it is suggested that the failure to appease a river deity, possibly depicted in the film "ARA NWANYI ASABA," angered the river, leading to the tragic event.
The statement in the post reads: "According to the ritual performance, the native doctors of Anambra state said that the river is angry with Junior Pope because of the movie he shot 20 years ago titled ‘ARA NWANYI ASABA.’"
It further states: "They said that the river is the ‘ARA NWANYI ASABA,’ and as they shot the movie, the river’s anger has been revealed since they were angry with the filmmakers."
The post continues with a cautionary message: "Please, if you know you were among those in this movie, it’s better you quit acting and not go near the water."
In response to the claim, various individuals expressed their opinions in the comment section of the post.
