Popular Nigerian actor Junior Pope lost his life in a boat crash reportedly caused by the reckless behavior of boat drivers.

According to an eyewitness and fellow movie producer, Stanley, who shared the harrowing details in a live Instagram video, the accident occurred when two boats collided due to the dangerous maneuvers of the speed boat drivers.
In a bid to impress and showcase their skills, the drivers were swerving dangerously on the water, leading to the fatal crash.
