Vivian Metchie tackles troll who queried Zubby Michael for taking long to mourn Junior Pope

Actress Vivian Metchie has slammed an Instagram user who criticised Zubby Michael for his delay in mourning fellow actor Junior Pope on social media.

Zubby Michael received backlash from social media users for his now-broken silence on the catastrophic death of Junior Pope, who died in a boat accident with four others.

However, in an Instagram post on Thursday, the actor finally broke his silence, posting a photo of Junior Pope on his page to mourn the departed.

“It is difficult to say RIP Nwanne,” he stated.

However, despite his post, an Instagram user named Omotoh Gentle questioned Zubby about the delay, writing, “Bros, why did it take you this long to mourn a brother?”

“Will you keep quiet there!!! Is posting on sm mourning,” Vivian Metchie responded.

Junior Pope was pronounced dead on the night of April 10 after multiple attempts to revive him failed. The actor, together with make-up artist Abigail Frederick and the production crew, drowned in the Anam River on their way back from the set of Another Side of Life, a film produced by Adanma Luke.
