The Nigerian Army has released Nollywood actor, Chinwetalu Agu.
POLITICS NIGERIA earlier reported that Agu was arrested by soldiers in Upper Iweka, Onitsha, Anambra state on Thursday for wearing an outfit made out of the Biafran Flag.
Eyewitness reports reveal that he was sharing food to less privileged persons wearing Biafran regalia when government forces stopped and arrested him.
Speaking on the incident, Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, said the veteran actor was apprehended for inciting members of the public and soliciting support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Confirming his release, actress, Chizzy Alichi wrote on social media; “Uncle Chinwetalu Agu has been released. He is safe and sound.”
Thank God they did not kill him because he did nothing by wearing that outfit
Thank God for his life.
Better for the Nigerian Army….
Useless army and there masters why can’t they arrest him in of it
Some moves intended to bring positive results might become highly consequential and degradingly debilitating.
The arrest of Actor Chiwetalu has rather increased his popularity and given IPOB more awareness than ever.
Our law enforcement agents should carry out arrest with more intelligence, tact and civility.
God help Nigeria.
WHY ARE THEY RELEASING HIM?
WHICH OFFENSE DID HE COMMIT IN THE FIRST PLACE?
NIGERIAN ARMY IS SWALLOWING MORE THAN IT’S STOMACH CAN CONTAIN.
THERE’S NO COMPULSION IN UNITY!
