Meanwhile, the Nollywood actress, Ruby Ojiakor, has clarified speculations of an alleged romantic relationship with her late colleague, John Odonwondo, popularly known as Junior Pope.
Rumours have been making rounds online that Ruby was Junior Pope’s girlfriend after a series of social media posts and videos made on her page while mourning the actor, who died in a boat accident while on set.
The late actor’s wife, Jennifer, further fueled the rumours after unfollowing Ruby on Instagram shortly after her husband’s burial.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Saturday, Ruby insisted that Junior Pope was never her boyfriend even though he was more than a friend to her.
She also debunked claims that the late actor is the father of her child, Royalty.
