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 The Punch, AGN President, Emeka Rollas, revealed this in a telephone interview on Friday.
Rolls said 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.”
Efforts to reach DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, proved abortive as he neither took calls to his line nor respond to a text message on the same matter as of the time of filing this report.
Soldiers had, on Thursday, arrested the actor around Upper Iweka Bridge in Onitsha for wearing an outfit with Biafra inscriptions.
Agu was reportedly on a charity mission to the less privileged when he was arrested by soldiers.
Agu had said, “I can wear this…this is the rising sun, not Biafra, not Eastern Security Network…This is a civil dress
“With my education, I know areas to go, areas not to go
