Veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu has been released by the Nigerian Army.
The actor regained freedom after spending 24 hours in the custody of the Nigerian Army who picked him up for allegedly promoting Biafra.
Agu was said to be sharing food to the less privileged while wearing Biafran regalia when government forces stopped him at Upper Iweka Road, Onitsha.
Agu was approached by two soldiers who wrestled him to the ground and dragged him away.
Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, who is the Director of Army Public Relations, later said the veteran actor was apprehended for inciting members of the public and soliciting support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
A video of the veteran actor with a colleague in the industry and a lady after he was released by the army is currently trending.
