Posted on May 18, 2024

Nollywood actress Empress Njamah, who is still grieving the death of her best friend Ada Ameh, has been left more heartbroken over the death of Junior Pope.

Following his funeral on Friday, she took to her Instagram page to bid him farewell as she revealed that his death had been very difficult for her; hence, she couldn’t put up a post about him.

She disclosed that she had been struggling, hoping that it was a dream, but when she saw his coffin, she realised he was truly gone.

Empress further disclosed that the last few days have been traumatising for her, and her doctor told people to allow her to cry. She noted how her tears can’t bring him back, but she wants him to keep resting and know that he will be missed.

She added that Junior Pope and her late friend, Ada Ameh, were both fun to be with and full of life, yet death took them away.

“ITS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO PUT UP YOUR PICTURE TO WRITE ANYTHING. I have been struggling, hoping that it’s a dream, but when I saw that coffin, I realised you’re truly gone @jnrpope. The past few days have been very traumatising for me; the Dr said allow her, leave her, it’s ok to cry out and give her some space. I know my tears can’t bring you back, JP. Keep resting; you will be missed, my friend
ADA AMEH and JNR POPE WHERE FULL OF LIFE AND FUN TO BE WITH; there was NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH THEM. DEATH YOU JUST HAD TO TAKE THEM AWAY FROM US

YOU WILL BE MISSED”.

Just a few days back, Empress had marked the second posthumous birthday of Ada Ameh.

Sharing a throwback video of them, she noted how Ada is no longer alive for her to be the first to call her. However, she is assured that she is having the best birthday and watching over them. Empress promised that despite her death, she would still celebrate her like they always did together.

Kemi Filani reported that Ada Ameh kicked the bucket on Sunday, 17th July 2022, around 11 pm in Warri, Delta State. The actress was said to have died from mental issues and a heart attack.
