Following the unfortunate death of popular Nollywood actor, Junior Pope Odonwondo, villagers have reportedly come out to demand that his body be released to them.
Recall the movie star, gave up the ghost on Wednesday 10th April, following a boat accident along the Anam river in Anambra state on his way back from a movie shoot, titled 'The Other Side Of Life'.
The boat had capsized, taking the lives of the actor and some of his colleagues who were present with him.
However, the actor later revived and rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead hours later.
In recent development, some members of the community where the river is located are insisting that they must bury the actor in the river as traditional demands.
According to them, the act is necessary for his children and the community's well-being unless there will be serious spiritual consequences and heavy repercussions.
Junior Pope's family doesn't agree with their request and insist that they won't give up his body.
It was later reported that the community went to the hospital to get his body, but the doctor in charge refused and locked his body in a private room and locked the door.
This was disclosed by controversial Instagram blog, Gistlover.

In a video which is currently trending online, one of the members of the community was heard confirming the demands of the community.
According to the unidentified man who was seen in the video standing inside the same river that took the lives of the Nollywood actors, Jnr. Pope has to be buried in the river to appease the marine gods.
He added that it has not been heard of that someone whom the river swallowed, was buried outside and no amount of prayers or intervention can change it.
