A chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), Morris Monye, has reacted to the tragic demise of popular Nollywood actor, Jnr Pope, stating that the health care system in Nigeria is substandard.
New Telegraph recalls that Pope, alongside three others, was on Tuesday involved in a boat mishap on the Anam River in Anambra state.
The tragic incident occurred when the movie crew were returning from a movie location.

The 39-year-old actor was said to be alive after a mortuary attendant allegedly confirmed that he was still breathing.
The president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, also later said Pope was alive and recovering in a hospital.
However, a fresh report confirmed that the actor has indeed passed on.
Reacting to the accident and subsequent medical assistance, Monye, who was not impressed, bemoaned Nigeria’s healthcare system.
Speaking via X, he wrote, “The healthcare in this country is in an unpropitious state of miasmic decay. “This whole Junior Pope saga highlights that we are in trouble.”
