Junior Pope: It’s Time To Prioritise Actors’ Welfare - Actress, Hilda Dokubo Says

Hilda Dokubo, the veteran Nigerian actress, has advocated for essential precautions within the film industry, particularly among producers.

Her thoughts stemmed from the tragic death of popular actor, Junior Pope and four other crew members.

In a video on Instagram l, the actress sent her condolences to Nollywood practitioners as she stated that five of their colleagues lost their lives to an avoidable death.

She suggested that if producers provided life jackets and actors refused to board boats without them, the recent unfortunate incident could have been avoided.

The actress made a plea to Emeka Rollas to prioritise the welfare of actors and take action to prevent further tragedies.

Captioning the video, she wrote: “Some deaths are avoidable! It is time to put actors’ welfare on the table! It is time to save the lives of those still alive. It’s important to practice in a safe and secured environment.

“There must be travel rules.., haba! Five people one day? Then water spirits, native doctors, mermaid worshippers and all other kinds of craziness!”
