Social media users have been reacting strongly to Nigerian filmmaker Adanma Luke’s recent response to a troll who was accusing her of being responsible for actor Junior Pope’s death.
Remember how, while returning from Adanma Luke’s film shoot, Junior Pope and three other people tragically perished in their boat? This incident sparked numerous accusations against the director.
The unfortunate incident led to Adanma Luke’s suspension from the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
Adanma Luke resumed her social media activity months after the incident, only to be inundated with critical remarks.
In an especially nasty post, @flawlessmerci, an Instagram user, accused Adanma Luke of utilizing Junior Pope and the other crew members for rituals and cursed the director as well as her infant, who is six months old.
Adanma Luke responded to the accusations made against her by posting a message on Instagram.
She wrote in part:
“Woman, I am not afraid to die and i won’t allow you come for my 6 months old child who has done nothing to you. I have been insulted and called all manner of names even from those I was good to but I still didn’t react. You all want my enemies head to go down for you to satisfy your cravings. If I am innocent of all your accusations, may you eat your tears🙏🏾 Been off work for months and no one asked how I was feeding my family or taking care of the victims families. This woman’s dm gave me the strength to come back online. I have nothing to prove to you all no more but believe me You all gave me the strength i have now and i honestly don’t give a fuvk no more. Henceforth, enjoy the monster you made of me because I won’t hold back no more👊🏾.”
Adanma Luke’s response, which seems to have been deleted, has ignited a wave of reactions online.
