The police in Anambra State, South-East Nigeria, have recovered three bodies of the victims of a boat accident that involved deceased Nollywood Actor, Junior Pope Odonwodo.
The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) had earlier said 12 individuals were on the ill-fated boat.
While seven were successfully rescued, two were found dead, while three others – two females and one male – were declared missing.
But the police spokesperson in Anambra State, Tochukwu Ikenga, in a statement, said the police have now recovered the remaining bodies of the three missing Nollywood stars.
Mr Ikenga said the bodies were recovered by marine police operatives from Anambra State Police Command.
“Two of the bodies were recovered yesterday, 11 April 2024 while the last was washed in by the tide this (Friday) morning.
“All the bodies have been deposited in a hospital mortuary in Asaba while the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (Emeka Rollas) has been notified of the recovery,” he said.
