More reports have continued to emerge concerning the unfortunate incident the claimed the life of John Pope Odonwodo.
One of the survivors of the tragic boat incident, Actor T.C Okafor recounted how he escaped death by the whiskers. According to him, pouring Fanta and money into the Anam River saved his life.
In a viral video yesterday, the actor revealed that the accident was due to the inexperience of the person steering the boat.
He narrated: “Before I entered the boat, I did the ritual. The first thing Junior Pope asked me was, ‘What am I I doing?’ And I said I was observing the water people. I can’t pass without sharing something. I have given them Fanta, so I don’t want anything bad to happen to me. Jnr. Pope agreed.
“While we were going, the guy steering the boat was wearing an earpiece, and Junior Pope was doing a video. I saw a small canoe with fishermen in front and due to his lack of experience, the guy steering the boat drove right into the last point of the canoe and we somersaulted.”
Okafor said that while the boat capsized, he held onto the anchor with a female colleague until another boat came to their rescue.
