“Stop the foolishness and allow his spirit to rest,” Pete Edochie advises those criticizing Junior Pope.

Veteran of Nollywood Pete Edochie has joined the sorrow for his colleague Junior Pope, who passed away too soon.

The seasoned actor asked Nigerians to let the late actor rest in peace by not sharing pointless messages on social media over his passing in a video posted on his Instagram page.

In addition to highlighting how unanticipated and tragic Junior Pope’s passing was, Edochie called him a priceless gift to humanity.

He asked people to refrain from participating in the social media drama surrounding the actor’s passing and asked for prayers for God to receive the actor’s soul.

Edochie expressed his gratitude to E-Money, a well-known businessman, for taking on the task of looking for Junior Pope’s children.

He expressed regret for the unexpected loss and emphasized the importance of conducting a dignified funeral, calling Junior Pope a gift to Nigerians and the entire world.

Edochie made a powerful plea to the public conscience to respect the deceased with dignity, imploring them to grant Junior Pope’s soul rest.

His comments come in response to claims made by his son, Yul Edochie, that the late actor had deceived him in the past.

Yul cited the deceased’s betrayal as the main cause of his absence from the burial in an Instagram post.
