Days after the unfortunate death of Nollywood actor Junior Pope, an up-and-coming actress, Anne Nnebdum, who used to work in the Asaba division, has gone online to publish an article about the working conditions performers are made to work within Asabawood.
Young actress Anne Nnebdum exposes Asabawood, and it is responsible for Junior Pope’s death.

Nnebdum also revealed how guns are brought on set with a professional who knows how to handle the weapon to help people use it.
“Juju is their safety measure” – Anne Nnebdum
In the article, the up-and-coming further revealed what Asabawood prioritizes more than putting safety measures in place.

Anne Nnebdum slammed Asabawood, noting that they prioritize voodoo more than safety precautions.
