Actress Hilda Dokubo has shared her insights following Junior Pope’s untimely passing.

Taking to Instagram, she expressed that his death was an avoidable one and that the right thing that should have been done was to have provided life jackets for all the parties involved.

She went on to call out the movie producer, AdanmaLuke, for not providing life jackets for all of the actors involved.

Now, also recall that movie producer Adama Luke had broken her silence about the incident two days ago.

She had taken to Instagram to express that she was completely broken about the unfortunate incident.

She further disclosed that the entire incident has left her traumatized as she finds herself blaming herself for returning to Asaba.

She went on to reveal that life jackets had been provided for Junior Pope.

However, they had rejected the life jackets. She also stated that she was supposed to be amongst one of the people on the boat.

Now, recall that last Wednesday, Kemi Filani had reported that Junior Pope had died after drowning. While he was returning from a location at Anam River in Anambra State.

Actress Sarah Martins had also taken to social media to drag the movie producer Adanma Luke.

She described the actress’s movie as a low-budget movie while trying to advise Nollywood producers to do better.

However, she was berated by some of the actors and her senior colleagues, which led to her tendering an apology.

Caroline Celico, the former wife of Brazilian football icon, Ricardo Kaka, has debunked recent speculations surrounding the cause of their separation.

Against circulating reports suggesting that she left Kaka due to his perceived perfection, Celico clarified that their separation was based on mutual agreement.

The couple, who tied the knot in December 2005, shares two children: Luca Celico Leite, born on June 10, 2008, and Isabella Celico Leite, born on April 23, 2011.


Despite their divorce ten years into their marriage, Celico stressed their continued partnership in nurturing their children.

Their decision to part ways, undisclosed until now, garnered attention following the circulation of a purported quote attributed to Celico.

In response, she addressed the misinformation, shedding light on the genuine nature of their separation.

The chef and food content creator wrote, “For those who haven’t heard from me for a long time… or have never heard before.

“And are UNFORTUNATELY hearing some fake news and FAKE quotes. Let me update you:

“I got divorced almost 10 years ago, from those 14 years of relationship there are 2 lovely teenagers.

“It’s been almost 8 years. I am with my husband Eduardo, and we are having our first child next month.

“I have a lot of respect for my lifetime story, and I am very grateful for everything I have lived so far. My ex-husband and I found a healthy way to raise our children, and I’m so grateful for this.

“Please be welcome to my social media, which is a place I share about many subjects, such as family, work and spirituality, with a lot of respect and love.”
