Junior Pope: After Ibom Focus’ Story, Governor Eno Orders Body Of Makeup Artist To Be Brought Back Home
The Akwa Ibom state government, under the watch of Pastor Umo Bassey Eno, has demanded the body of their daughter Abigail Fredirck to, be returned for proper burial arrangements.
Abigail Fredrick was a professional makeup artist who was tragically involved in the marine accident that took the life of famous Nigerian actor Pope Obumneme Odonwodo aka Junior Pope.
The young creative’s body was discovered on Thursday, April 11, and was apparently buried along the riverbank. The townspeople allegedly ordered she be buried there since her family failed to conduct a sacrifice to please the river deity before moving her body from the river area.
The statement from the Akwa Ibom government read in part:
“We are deeply saddened by her painful passing. On behalf of the Government and people of AKwa Ibom State, we sympathize with her family, the Nollywood community, and her friends and colleagues over this sad loss.
“We have also followed and read the reportage, especially on the social media platforms surrounding her burial and wish to state categorically that, government was not informed of the circumstances that led to her burial.
“His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno, has consequently directed that her body be brought back to her family for a proper and decent burial. As the famous theme song of the Liverpool Football Club goes, the bereaved family will not “walk alone”.
