The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, has dispelled the rumor of actor Junior Pope's death, confirming that the actor is alive and receiving treatment at a hospital.
Rollas took to his Instagram account to address the reports, stating, "What God cannot do does not exist. Junior Pope is alive. He is taking treatment in the hospital."

However, the Actors Guild of Nigeria President's statement has brought relief and reassurance to the entertainment industry, as the news of Junior Pope's demise had left the community in a state of shock and mourning.
Rollas' prompt response to address the situation and confirm the actor's well-being has been widely appreciated, as it helps to dispel the false information and provide accurate updates on Junior Pope's condition.
