“When we arrived at the location, I purchased Fanta. I had 10k on me, sprayed it on the water, and shared some with the local children,” TC Okafor, a survivor of the boat accident, recounts his experience.
During an Instagram live session, the actor mentions, “On the initial day, Junior Pope, upon arriving at the set, felt uneasy. Shortly after, he expressed his intention to depart.”
On the day of the incident, we all gathered at the river to board the boat that would take us to the set. Since we stated the job, I always sit in front, so I can hold the rope.
Junior pope was making a video and I told everyone to put their phones in their pockets.
Only two people wore life jackets; the DOP and Director.
The boat guy was wearing an earpiece and wanted to show his face in Junior Pope’s video.
He jammed one of the canoes in the river and our boat capsized”
