She expressed heartbreak that the late actor wouldn’t be there to see her walk down the aisle despite giving her a go-ahead. However, she thanked Maker as she prayed for the deceased.
“It’s exactly one year today since you were laid to rest at ‘UKEHE’, your home town”….. Chaiiii “AKPA SWAG” as I fondly call you”, it still feels like a dream, biggest Bro”,

Refreshing your memory, Junior Pope lost his life after drowning at Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a movie set on April 8th. The actor was laid to rest on May 17th in his hometown in Ukehe, Enugu State.
To mourn him, Ruby took a month off social media. When she returned on Instagram, she stated that for the first time in her life, she questioned her Maker. Ruby revealed that she was shattered, pained and bitter as she prayed for his killers to never go unpunished.
Still grieving him, the Asaba movie star called out her colleagues, Baba Rex and Adanma Luke, and others. She noted how Rex was using Junior Pope’s death as content on Instagram while Adanma was allegedly telling people how he begged her for a job rather than grieving him.
Following his demise, Kemi Filani noticed that Ruby and the late actor’s wife, Jennifer Awele, had unfollowed each other on Instagram, which left tongues, especially after Adanma Luke, hinted at her having an intimate relationship with late JP as she admonished her to let the world know the whole truth.
