A film producer, Michael Ofuonye, has faulted the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN for suspending the ill-fated movie, “Another Side of Life” as well as the producer, Adanma Luke, following the boat mishap that claimed the life of Nollywood actor, Jnr Pope and four other victims .
Ofuonye was the producer of the film which one of Nollywood finest actors back then, J.T. Tom West was shooting before he was involved in an accident while returning from a movie location in September 2006 which claimed his life. Reliving the memories of that sad incident, he bemoaned how millions of naira he invested in the project went down the drain following a wrong decision to strike off the set.
Ofuonye, who is currently based in the United States, frowned at the decision of the leadership of the Actor’s guild of Nigeria AGN to suspend Adanma’s movie, insisting that completing the movie as a tribute to Jnr. Pope’s memory would be a beautiful way to honor the legacy of the late actor. He said it would also provide closure for his family, the cast, and the crew of the production.
