The family of the late Nollywood actor Johnpaul Obumneme Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope, released an updated poster detailing the burial arrangement.
This came following an initial burial arrangement that surfaced, debunked by the family because of the missing ‘husband’ title on the poster.
A revised burial poster includes tributes recognizing Junior Pope as a son, brother, husband, father, and grandchild, thus addressing the initial discrepancy.
According to the updated plans, Junior Pope’s funeral is scheduled for May 17, 2024, in his hometown of Enugu.
