“But @stanley_ontop ..I just wanna rewind a little just found ur handle..why was JP in the water for 4hrs?? Despite some of you rescued..why did the divers leave the spot after rescuing you people? why didn’t they continue considering some were still in for lets say 30mins-1hr? Enlighten me a bit.”
Replying, Stanley revealed that the divers first rescued those with life jackets before they commenced search for Junior Pope who had already sunk deep.
He revealed that a hook was later used to pull out the actor and that was why his clothes were torn when he was brought out.

“@queensheeba007 first I wasn’t in the boat neither was I in the movie. Calls came across and everyone rushed to the scene.
They rescued those found sailing on the water because they were on live jacket. But couldn’t find the remaining 5 which JNR pope was one of them. The divers went into the River and couldn’t find anyone. They then used fishing hook & to look for them, they found the PA guy first and later found JP with the help of the 2. The reason why his shirts torn was because of the hook & they used.
Others were found the next day.
Shalom!”
