Jnr Pope: Man who claims to be the captain of the boat gives an account of what allegedly transpired before and after the accident (video)
A man has come forward to give his version of events, claiming to be the skipper of the boat that capsized and killed actor Jnr Pope along with four other people.
The man said in a widely shared video that the deceased actor declined to rent a life jacket, citing a lack of funds. The man further claimed that the actor who had died and a few other passengers on the boat insisted they were children of God and would not bow to the river’s powers. He claimed that his ability to swim allowed him to escape unharmed and that it also allowed him to save a woman who was on the boat.
