Soldiers Harass Nollywood Actor Chiwetalu Agu For Wearing Biafra Outfit


(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Soldiers in Onitsha, Anambra State, on Wednesday harassed Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu, for wearing a  Biafra outfit .

In the viral video, 65-year-old Agu is seen around Upper Iweka Bridge donning the Biafra outfit and walking near a green bus when two armed soldiers wrestle him to the ground and drag him.

It was gathered that the actor was in Onitsha on a charity mission where he regularly gifts the less privileged with food items when he was arrested by soldiers.

“He was sharing food with some less privileged persons at Upper Iweka when the soldiers approached him and arrested him. He was manhandled and arrested and taken  to their barracks,” a source said.

Agu, who is a supporter of the Biafra cause, had, in several videos, criticised the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for marginalising Igbo.

However the Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of the actor.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed the incident, noting, “The command is aware of his arrest at Upper Iweka in Onitsha. But we don’t have details of why he was arrested.”
