Four months after the tragic drowning incident that claimed the lives of actor Jnr Pope and three crew members, film producer, Adanma Luke has opened up about the emotional trauma she has been enduring.

The incident, which occurred during the production of a film, has left her devastated, and she is now pleading for prayers to help her cope.

In a heartfelt statement, Adanma Luke expressed her deep sorrow, saying that though she is trying to be tough, the blame games, cyberbullying and threats are breaking her.

She further explained that while she believes the tragedy was destined to happen, she struggles with the question of why it had to occur during her production.


The incident has put her in the spotlight, something she never desired.

“I never liked the internet drama and all that, but this tragedy put me out there. People are dragging me, calling me to threaten and bully me. I go through so much. I am trying to heal, but it is not working,” she lamented.

The producer emphasized her love and respect for Jnr Pope and the others who lost their lives, stating that she had chosen them for the project because of her admiration for their work.

However, the tragedy has made it impossible for her to return to Asaba, where the incident occurred.

Adanma Luke also shared that she had thoroughly investigated the location before choosing it, and was assured that it was safe for filming.

“We weren’t even shooting on the water; it was a means of transportation,” she clarified.

In her emotional plea, she apologized to Nigerians, insisting that the incident was not deliberate.

“I am gradually losing my life. I am depressed and full of regrets. I don’t even know how to call people for jobs. I need prayers. It’s not easy on me,” she concluded.
