Actress Ruth Eze calls out colleagues over posthumous tribute for Jr. Pope

By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

Nollywood actress Ruth Eze has expressed strong disapproval towards her fellow actors who were commemorating the posthumous birthday of their deceased colleague, Junior Pope.

Junior Pope tragically lost his life in March after a drowning incident at Anam River in Anambra State, along with five others.

On May 7th, which would have been his 44th birthday, many of his peers took to Instagram to pay tribute to him.

Ruth then asked them, “Did these colleagues ever celebrate Junior Pope while he was alive?”

If not, she challenged them to justify why they were honoring him posthumously.

Accusing them of hypocrisy, Ruth demanded an answer to her query.

“Did you ever celebrate him when he was alive? If NO, give me one reason u’re celebrating him now he’s dead.

“Hypocrites, pls answer me,” she demanded.
