On April 10, while returning from a movie shoot, Mr. Odonwodo, also known as Junior Pope, and four other crew members perished in their boat when it capsized in the Anam River in Anambra State.
Out of the twelve people that got into the unfortunate boat, around seven were saved alive and the other five, including Mr. Odonwodo, passed away.
According to the actor’s burial poster, Mr. Odonwodo’s family revealed his burial plans via a requiem liturgy at Saint John-Mary Vianney Parish in Asaba, Delta State, on April 23.
