Nigerian movie star, Actor Tochukwu also known as TV Virus, who escaped the boat mishap that led to the death of his fellow actor, Junior Pope, has disclosed that the film director, Adanma Luke, attempted to arrest him after the incident.

Tochukwu, popularly known as TC Virus, claimed Luke ordered his arrest following claims by the boat operator that he caused the mishap that led to Pope’s death.

Pope and a few others lost their lives in a boat accident in Anambra when they were returning from a filming location.

While some lost their lives, TC Virus was able to escape death after learning on a rope after the incident.

However, TC Virus said the boat operator told Luke that he stood up and blocked his view during the trip.

In an Instagram Live, he said: “Adanma Luke asked the Marine police to arrest me because the boat operator was lying that I stood up during the trip so he could not see the oncoming boat.

“As slim as I am, I stood in front of the boat and you can’t see, are you okay? You who’s a pilot.”

Marine Police said we were stingy!
