He wrote: “It’s taken three whole months to heal from that and still.

‘‘Jnr Pope is one death too many, too many in this business. And that only happened this year, 2024.

‘‘Had I gotten anything more than these two stitches on the set of Jim Iyke’s production, y’all would still call me a fool. I guess. It has taken me a whole 3 months to heal from that and still…

‘‘I am committed to ensuring safety at the Nollywood workplace. Sometimes I’ve asked myself, why was it me who got hurt? I guess it is so that nobody else, gets to take one for the team.

‘‘But Jim Iyke is running… Small boy.”
