Chiwetalu Agu has been arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS)
Gatekeepers News reports that Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu, who was arrested by the Nigerian Army over his seeming support for the Indigenous People of Biafra, has been picked up and quizzed by the Department of State Services, hours after he was released by the military.
The Actors Guild of Nigeria on Friday said that Nollywood Actor, Chiwetalu Agu, has been picked up by men of the Department of State Services.
According to Emeka Rollas, the actor was arrested by the secret police shortly after he was released by the Nigerian Army.
Rollas said, “The AGN is aware that the DSS has picked up Chiwetalu Agu after the Nigerian Army arrested him.
“We are currently working on securing his release.”
Agu was reportedly on a charity mission to the less privileged when he was arrested by soldiers.
The Nigerian Army in a statement had said that the actor was arrested “while inciting members of the public and soliciting for support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra.”
The Army had also said the actor “dressed in a very well-known attire of the proscribed group”, adding that he was being questioned.
However, the Army was said to have released the actor on Friday before he was picked up by the DSS.
