Nollywood actor, TC Okafor has narrated how the boat conveying him, late Junior Pope and other crew members capsized.
In an interview, he noted that since he started this job, he always sits down in front and not at the back on the boat as holding the rope of the boat is very important to him.
However, contrary to speculation, Jnr Pope alongside the director of the movie set were on a life jacket
“While I was at the front, they were making videos. Then I told everyone to keep their phone in their pocket. J.P was wearing a life jacket then director was wearing a life jacket”.
Okafor made it known to that before he entered the boat, he poured some of the drink he bought in the water
According to him, he can’t cross the river without sharing the water spirit something because he doesn’t want any bad thing to happen to him.
Meanwhile, Okafor was observing when he saw a smaller fishermen canoe which he was trying to tell the driver to look out for.
Unfortunately, the boat eventually jammed the last point of the fishermen canoe because of his inexperience, and their boat eventually over turned
“I was able to save myself and some other lady because of the rope I was holding” He said.
