In the wake of a tragic incident on the set of ‘The Other Side of Life,’ where actor Junior Pope and four colleagues met their untimely demise, Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has stepped forward to offer a different perspective on the events that unfolded.
The controversy ignited after the unfortunate capsizing of a boat on the Anam River in Anambra State, which resulted in the loss of five lives, including that of Junior Pope. The absence of life jackets has led to a barrage of accusations against Luke, painting her as reckless.
Despite widespread criticism, Uche Ogbodo contends that producer Adanma Luke’s actions should not be hastily labeled as negligent.
Uche Ogbodo took to her Instagram to voice her support for Adanma Luke, emphasizing that even the most careful productions can encounter unforeseen errors, a reality not exempted from even the most prestigious film industries like Hollywood.
Accompanying her words of support was an image of Adanma Luke, which Ogbodo captioned with admiration, portraying her as a resilient and compassionate figure, urging her to persevere through this challenging time with the assurance of divine support.
The discourse extended to the comments section, where a user, @miss_airlaa, cautioned Uche Ogbodo against involving herself in the controversy to avoid being wrongfully blamed. In response, Ogbodo reiterated her stance, defending Luke’s professionalism and reminding that mishaps can occur in any film setting, Hollywood included.
“She [Adanma Luke] is not a careless producer, only mistakes happen, even on Hollywood sets” Uche Ogbodo responded.
