Popular actor, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, widely known as IK Ogbonna, has reacted to the passing away of his colleague, Junior Pope.
It was a sad one for lovers of Nollywood after the death of popular actor, Junior Pope, was announced. Among those who reacted to the death of the actor was IK Ogbonna.
IK in a recent post, demanded that the regulations governing Nollywood film production be urgently regulated.
IK Ogbonna drew the regulating body’s attention to the need to control late-night shooting, especially for individuals who work long hours and therefore deteriorate their immune systems.
“We must urgently address the issue of safety in Nollywood. There are several important points I would like to emphasize; but, to summarize, it is crucial that every movie set include a medical department from now on.
“Additionally, we need to seriously consider the impact of late-night shoots, particularly on those who work tirelessly back-to-back. When the body does not receive proper rest, it inevitably begins to deteriorate (fail).
“It is disheartening to say but we only hear of the celebrated we lose, but we tragically lose crew members all too frequently.
“May this unfortunate loss serve as a catalyst for change, ultimately saving lives,” he wrote.
