Nollywood producer Chukwuma Innocent Ideh has extended financial support to the families of the makeup artist and soundman tragically lost in a recent boat mishap. Ideh’s generous donation of N700,000 aims to alleviate the financial burden faced by the bereaved families during this difficult time.
The unfortunate incident occurred when a boat carrying members of a movie production crew, including actor Junior Pope, capsized in Anam River, Anambra state, while returning from a shoot in Asaba. While two individuals were rescued, Junior Pope was regrettably confirmed to have lost his life.
In addition to the monetary contribution, Ideh also transferred N500,000 directly to the soundman’s account, further demonstrating his commitment to supporting those affected by the tragedy.
Screenshots of the transactions made by the filmmaker were widely shared on social media platforms, sparking varied reactions among followers.
