Junior Pope: Sound Engineer’s Corpse Exhumed, Buried in Hometown

They were on their way to a filming location.

Because his family could not afford to take him back home after the accident, Precious was buried by the riverbed.

However, Precious’ mother begged Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara to help transport her son’s remains back to her home so that he may be buried respectfully.

On the other hand, movie producer Stanley Nwoke posted a video on his Instagram page that appeared to show workers getting the late sound engineer’s remains ready for transportation to Rivers inside a white coffin.

The director reported that on Tuesday, the exhumation of Precious’s remains was seen by members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and Precious’ family.

Stanley also posted a different video of the sound engineer being buried in Rivers, the location of his birth.
