Veteran Nigerian actress, Ini Edo, expressed her dismay over the absence of regulatory mechanisms in Nollywood in the wake of her colleague, Junior Pope's passing.

The Nigerian populace was deeply saddened upon learning of Junior Pope's demise, despite concerted efforts to save him following a drowning incident.

Ini Edo has now voiced her concerns, emphasizing that the late actor's tragic fate shouldn't have been the catalyst for Nollywood to institute the comprehensive regulatory framework urgently needed to safeguard productions.

She asserted that Junior Pope's untimely death should serve as a catalyst for change and called for a thorough overhaul of the system, advocating for practical guidelines that would ensure the safety of everyone involved in emergencies.

In her words: “Jnr Pope did not have to sacrifice his life for nollywood to realize the need for a long and much needed regulatory structure that would safeguard an entire production . Yes .. every one is a producer now and all are guilty of negligence of some sort.. and this has to stop. This is one sacrifice too many and must count for something … The system has to undergo a total overhaul with practical rules and regulations that caters to everyone in cases of emergencies…. I will never understand why the good ones go so soon. Rest on brother … This one cuts really deep”
