These actions show a complete lack of respect for the memory of the deceased and are deeply hurtful to our grieving family.

I cannot fold my hands and allow this heinous act to continue without consequence.

I am committed to identifying these unscrupulous individuals and ensuring they are held accountable. It is imperative that we clean up our social media space and let the law take its rightful course.

Furthermore, bloggers disseminating this information without proper investigation and confirmation will also not be spared in this bid for justice.

Anyone with credible information that can assist the authorities in apprehending these two women responsible for this malicious character assassination, should please come forward.

Your help will not only bring justice but is highly appreciated. Enough is enough! Thank you for your support and understanding during this challenging time. Send me a DM”.

Nollywood veterans, Rita Edochie and Chinwe Owoh in tearful moods defended Junior Pope’s wife against rumors and speculations.

The actresses who spoke in Igbo Language with newsmen during the burial ceremony of the Junior Pope on Friday called on the people spreading wrong and misleading information against the deceased wife to desist forthwith.

Chinwe Owoh said: “Junior Pope’s wife, they should leave her alone! There’s nobody that doesn’t have misunderstandings in their home. Even if they had misunderstandings, they should leave that girl alone (Rita – and who even said they were having issues?). Leave her alone to bury her husband quietly for his soul to rest in peace”.

Rita Edochie added, “Junior Pope is gone. Everybody is saying different versions of what they want. I beg God to accept his soul. He’s a good man, one person with no form of discrimination against any human being.

Anywhere he is, if spirits can see, he should protect his family. People who are saying he was killed, are the killers in charge of their own lives? People should stop talking rubbish.

Social media has done more harm than good. Someone that’s full of life, he lost his life instead of them to rest, they’re stressing his wife again. Every mouth in charge of these foul information, God will judge you. Leave someone who is innocent to have peace of mind.”
