Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu, has regained his freedom after being arrested by men of the Nigerian Army.
Recall that Agu was arrested on Wednesday, October 7, for adorning an outfit with the Biafran flag on it.
He was released today Friday, October 8, after the leadership of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) mediated.
During interrogation, while in detention, Agu was quoted to have refuted the impression that he was promoting the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Eastern Security Network (ESN).
According to him, what he wore when he was arrested by soldiers at Upper Iweka in Anambra State was a civil dress and not a Biafran regalia.
He also stated that he was sharing bread to people and was not campaigning for IPOB or ESN when he was arrested.
“What I’m wearing is a civil dress and not a Biafran regalia or linked to ESN,” the actor was quoted to have said.
