Socialite Emeka Okonkwo a.k.a E-Money has threatened to take action against two women who have slandered him following the death of Nollywood actor Pope Odonwodo a.k.a Junior Pope.
One of the women, a blogger known as Trending media news, had alleged that E-Money had a hand in the death of the actor who died April 10 in a boat accident in Anambra State, while returning with others from a film location. The other woman who remained anonymous in an online video speculated that the tragedy could be linked to an affair between Junior Pope’s wife and E-Money.
She maintains that E-Money and Junior Pope’s wife are close friends, ruling out a romantic relationship between them. Despite this, she continues to suspect E-Money and accuses him of playing a role in the actor’s demise.
E-Money posted on his Instagram page urging Nigerians to help locate the two women so that they can account for their reckless accusations.
“To all my followers,” E-Money posted
“It has come to my attention that some individuals are spreading damaging and false information about my relationship with my late brother, Junior Pope, and his family during this difficult time of mourning. These actions show a complete lack of respect for the memory of the deceased and are deeply hurtful to our grieving family.
“I cannot fold my hands and allow this heinous act to continue without consequence. I am committed to identifying these unscrupulous individuals and ensuring they are held accountable. It is imperative that we clean up our social media space and let the law take its rightful course. Furthermore, bloggers disseminating this information without proper investigation and confirmation will also not be spared in this bid for justice.
“Anyone with credible information that can assist the authorities in apprehending these two women responsible for this malicious character assassination, should please come forward. Your help will not only bring justice but would be highly appreciated. Enough is enough!”
