Wife of actor Junior Pope, Jennifer Awele is remembering her husband a year after his untimely death.

She shared a post on Instagram, reflecting on the pain and grief of losing her husband.

Junior Pope and others drowned at Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a movie set produced by Adanma Luke on April 10th.

Luke received backlash for not providing the actors with safety procedures, which led to their deaths.

Jennifer described the past year as a journey of standing in the face of unimaginable loss.

She noted that not a day has gone by without a thought of Junior Pope and his love still surrounds their family.

Jennifer revealed that it’s been tough trying to stay strong for each other as the world around them seems to fall apart.

The grief remains heavy, and the absence has left a void that words can never fill.

However, they look up to heaven for strength and guidance.

She wrote: “It’s been one year of standing in the face of our unimaginable loss, and not a day has gone by without a thought of you.

Your love still surrounds us, your laughter echoes in our hearts, and your presence is felt in the quiet moments when we miss you most.

“You have no idea how tough it’s been, trying to stay strong for each other even as the world around us seems fallen apart. The grief remains heavy, the absence left a void that words can never fill, but through it all, we look up for strength from heaven as a guiding light.

“Oh death, you have taught us to live each day as it comes, one step at a time bearing such extreme pain that can never go away.

“I still don’t have the right words to respond to Jason and Jaden wanting to know if Daddy will fulfill his promise of taking them to a proper football academy and be present at their first official match. They said ;, “Daddy told them he wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world”. Then the littlest one (J papa as fondly called by daddy) Jamon, keeps asking when daddy is bringing the big toy car he promised him

“We appreciate everyone who sympathized with us and stood and still stand by us through our time of grief. Words cannot express our heartfelt gratitude for your love and support towards us.

“To our beloved, you did not only leave us, your family but so many who loved you and loved your works.
It is so difficult and unbelievable to
say these words, but still, continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty. You will always be in our hearts and our thoughts, and your memories and legacy will live on forever.

“Though you’re no longer by our side, you live on in every memory, every smile and every tear. We shall carry you with us always until we meet again. We cannot question God, right? May Your Soul Rest In Perfect Peace, My Love”.

Published

The Senator representing Delta North senatorial district at the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has confirmed the viral medical reports in which his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, tested positive for cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, morphine, opiates and other hard drugs.

Naija News recalls that the medical report issued by Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja and signed by its Managing Director/Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Adekunle Adesina, revealed that the movie star has been battling severe substance abuse and has been undergoing a detoxification program  from September 9 to October 15, 2025.

The medical report stated that the hospital’s psychological emergency unit was called to Nwoko’s residence on September 23, when Regina had reportedly not slept for 48 hours and was visibly aggressive.

The report emphasized that Regina presented with verbal aggression, anger, agitation, and incongruent affect, with her mood described as “elated and evasive.”

The hospital also outlined several challenges encountered during the detox process, stressing that the thespian had made little progress in substance withdrawal because she “still has access to psychoactive substances, hence frustrating the process.”

However, the medical facility, in a statement via its Instagram page, said the leaked document did not emanate from them, as they are committed to ensuring medical confidentiality.

Ned Nwoko, in a statement issued on Saturday, pointed out that the medical facility did not deny authorizing the leaked document but only clarified that it did not publish the document.

Nwoko stated that Regina Daniels’ recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind, stressing that she is vulnerable and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain.

The statement added that Senator Nwoko is genuinely and deeply concerned for Regina Daniels to recover, be safe and present in the lives of her children.
