Junior Pope: Sound Engineer’s Corpse Exhumed, Buried in Hometown
Exhumed for burial in Rivers State is the body of Precious Ofurum, the sound engineer who drowned in the boat accident that also took the life of Nollywood actor Junior Pope.
Precious, Junior Pope, and three other members of the crew perished in a boat accident in the River Niger, Asaba, Delta State, on April 10.
They were on their way to a filming location.
Because his family could not afford to take him back home after the accident, Precious was buried by the riverbed.

However, Precious’ mother begged Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara to help transport her son’s remains back to her home so that he may be buried respectfully.
On the other hand, Movie Producer Stanley Nwoke posted a video on his Instagram page that appeared to show workers getting the late sound engineer’s remains ready for transportation to Rivers inside a white coffin.
The director reported that on Tuesday, the exhumation of Precious’s remains was seen by members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and Precious’ family.
Stanley also posted a different video of the sound engineer being buried in Rivers, the location of his birth.

He expressed, “Olamide was 13 years old when I met him. He came to my studio with a friend who wanted to feature him on a song. His friend was not good musically. Olamide was quiet and unassuming. I gave him a beat, and he did 16 bars that changed everything. Olamide became more like a son to me.
“When he was about to leave my record label, we sat down to discuss it. It was painful to me. It wasn’t the pain of not wanting him to progress; it was the pain of seeing someone you love leave. I cried.
“I said, ‘Olamide, you should’ve waited o!’ He said, ‘Bros, I want to do something, and I’m sure, by your code, we might not be able to do some of them.’ We didn’t have a fight. I gave him my full blessings.”
During their marriage breakdown, well-known musician Oritsefemi has claimed that his wife, Nabila Fash, called her friends over to their house so they could beat him up.
He claimed that the women, who were perhaps twenty in number, physically and verbally attacked him.
This was revealed by the “Double Wahala” hitmaker in an open conversation with media figure Chude Jideonwo.
Oritsefemi claimed that he had bad luck in marriages, citing his first wife’s separation from him after he had sponsored her to move to Dubai.

“My wife [Nabila Fash] asked her friends to come and beat me up in my house. I said, ‘Look at me o; a whole me, lion na he women dey pursue.’ They were about 20. They dealt with me. I’m not lying,” he said.
It should be noted that Oritsefemi and Nabila Fash’s marriage fell apart in 2022 after Fash accused the singer of constant infidelity.
Due to adultery and domestic abuse, Fash formally filed for divorce from Oritsefemi in October 2022.
Mr. Joseph Aloba, the father of Mohbad, breaks down in tears on Tiktok during the public presentation of the pathologist’s report on his son’s death.
The pathologist eventually addressed the issue after more than seven months of waiting for the autopsy results.
Sadly, he disclosed that the body had already begun to disintegrate before the autopsy started, making it impossible to determine the cause of death.
