The actor, who was arrested by soldiers after he was spotted wearing an outfit with Biafra insignia , said security operatives treated him with respect in detention.

Soldiers had picked him up in Onitsha, Anambra State, and released him after the intervention of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) but he was rearrested by the DSS and flown to Abuja for further investigation and interrogation.

After searching his phone without finding anything incriminating, the DSS released the actor following the intervention of the AGN.

During a welcome back event organised by the AGN members, Agu said: “It didn’t start well but God took control. I was only buying bread for the poor. Soldiers came in and started scattering things.

“They said they are calling me in the office but they did not tell me my offence. Because they did not tell me my offence, I refused to follow them.

“That drama that took place was important so that they will know that Igbos are here. That moment at Upper Iweka till the time we got to the army barracks close to Zik Mausoleum, to 82 Division of the Nigerian Army and to DSS office in Abuja, nobody touched me. They treated me with respect.

“Every officer wanted to be involved in the case so that they can have opportunity to interact with Chinwetalu Agu.”
