Nigerian movie veteran Chiwetalu Agu has been brutalised by
men of the Nigeria Army for wearing a Biafran flag outfit.
The incident occurred on Thursday, October 7, 2021, at the
industrious Upper Iweka Road in Onitsha, Anambra state.
In a video that has since gone viral, the actor was seen in
his minibus which had the inscription 'Chinwetalu Films.'
The minibus was then searched by the security operatives before he was manhandled by the soldiers who fired some shots to scare off the crowd which gathered.
The soldiers fired some gunshots to scare away the people that were gathering around the scene and took Chief Chiwetalu Agu away to a yet to be confirmed location.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed the incident, noting, “The command is aware of his arrest at Upper Iweka in Onitsha. But we don’t have details of why he was arrested.”
Other celebrities who have at one point or the other
supported and called for the release of the leader of one of the movements
responsible for the Biafran agitation, Nnamdi Kanu, are Rita Edochie and
