Nigerians tackle Jerry Amilo for posting video of Junior Pope's corpse at the hospital

Nollywood actor Jerry Amilo has come under heavy criticism from Nigerians after sharing the corpse of his colleague Junior Pope at the hospital on social media.

Recall that on April 10, 2024, word of Junior Pope's passing leaked. It was discovered that he passed away while trying to cross the River Niger for a film shoot.

The actor who was crossing the River Niger for a movie shoot was without a life jacket and the boat paddler was going at a speed which might probably be a factor in the actor and other colleagues losing their lives.

In a recent turn of events, actor Jerry Amilo shared a video of Junior Pope's corpse at the hospital on his Facebook page.

Social media users chastised Jerry Amilo for being insensitive and capturing a video of the deceased when he was in a vulnerable state.
