Popular businessman and socialite Emeka Okonkwo, known as E-Money, has responded to allegations that he is having an affair with the wife of the late Nollywood actor, Junior Pope.
Junior Pope tragically lost his life along with three others when their boat capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a film location last month.
Following his death, some netizens linked E-Money to the tragedy, claiming he had an affair with the late actor’s wife.
E-Money has strongly denied these allegations and pledged to take legal action against those spreading the false information.
He took to Instagram to urge Nigerians to help identify those responsible for the rumours.
He wrote: “It has come to my attention that some individuals are spreading damaging and false information about my relationship with my late brother, Junior Pope, and his family during this difficult time of mourning. 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”
