Chiwetalu was arrested because he was putting on Biafra regalia. Video

 The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, has reacted to the arrest of veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu.


Chiwetalu Agu was arrested by the Nigerian Army at Upper Iweka, Onitsha, Anambra state for putting on Biafra regalia.


He was allegedly taken to 82 Division Enugu on Thursday. When contacted to react, Emeka Rollas condemned Chiweta Agu’s action, noting that he shouldn’t have worn Biafra regalia, considering the high rate of insecurity in the state.


He said that the Guild is doing everything possible to ensure Chiwetalu Agu is released. “I don’t know why he put on Biafra regalia. The state is hot. We are in talks with the military officials to ensure he is released. I heard they have taken him to the 82 Division of the Nigeria Military base. We will do our best.''
