JUNIOR POPE: MAKE-UP ARTIST BURIED BESIDE RIVER AS FAMILY COULDN’T AFFORD MONEY FOR SACRIFICES
In a deeply saddening turn of events, Abigail Frederick, identified as the makeup artist who tragically lost her life alongside actor Jnr Pope and fellow crew members in a boat accident on the Anam River, has been laid to rest.
As per a Facebook user named Moses Ekor, Abigail was laid to rest at the riverbank, reportedly because her father lacked the funds required to perform the necessary rituals for her body to be transported back home to Akwa Ibom State.
Expressing concern and disappointment, Moses Ekor labeled the riverbank burial as shameful.
He expressed gratitude towards those who generously donated funds to facilitate the transportation of Abigail’s parents from Akwa Ibom to Asaba.
He wrote; “Abigail Fredrick
Body Will Be Buried This Night By The Side Of River Niger, The Father Is There Right Now, He Has Non Say Because The Money We Raise For His Is Too Small To Conduct The Traditional Sacrifice And Bring Back Abigail Body To Akwa Ibom jonal Sacrifice And I’m Too Sad I Wish We Could Raised More! Burring Her At The River Bank This Night Is A Shame To Me.”
In another post, he wrote:
