The remains of Precious Ofurum, the sound engineer who died in the boat mishap along with the Nollywood actor, Junior Pope, have been exhumed for burial in Rivers State. Precious, Junior Pope, and three other crew members lost their lives in a boat mishap in the River Niger, Asaba, Delta State while traveling to a movie location on 10 April 2024.

Following the accident, Precious was buried by the riverbank because his family could not meet the requirements to transport him back home. But, his mum pleaded with the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara to assist in bringing her son’s body back home for a proper burial.

However, in a video shared on his Instagram page, Movie Producer, Stanley Nwoke, showed people preparing the remains of the late sound engineer in a white coffin for the trip to Rivers.

The filmmaker said Precious’ family, alongside members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, attended his remains’ exhumation on Tuesday, 30 April 2024.

Stanley also shared another video of the sound engineer being laid to rest in his hometown in Rivers.
