One year after the tragic death of Nollywood actor Junior Pope, his father, Ozor Luke Odonwodo, has also passed away.
Junior Pope’s widow, Jenifer Awele Odonwodo, revealed this in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
She revealed that she had just spent time with the deceased in Enugu a few weeks before his death, unaware it would be their last moments together.
“Barely One Month Ago, I Was With You In Enugu… Some Days Later,, Reme (My Mother In Love) Called, Asked How I And Her Boys Are Doing And Further Went To Say That Her Husband Has Gone To Meet My Husband, 1 Screamed But Had To Quickly Pull Myself Together As She Started Crying After I Screamed,” she wrote.
Describing Ozor Luke Odonwodo as “one man that genuinely loved me,” she expressed gratitude for the brief time they shared, even as it came in his final days.
“He passed as an octogenarian who lived a good life, paid his dues, sacrificed a lot for his family and loved ones, and happily reaped the fruits of his labour,” she wrote.
“Reme, Nwanyiomam, this is actually a lot within one year but I pray God gives you and us all the strength we need to keep pushing no matter how hard it seems.
“Adieu father and son… You are sorely missed but we hold onto the resurrection promises in John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15,” she added.
LEADERSHIP recalls that Junior Pope Odonwodo tragically died in April 2024 in a boat accident while returning from a film location on Anambra River.
