Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, has disclosed why
the Department of State Services, DSS, released Nollywood veteran, Chiwetalu
Agu.
Ozekhome said Agu was released after they searched his
phones and found nothing incriminating.
The 65-year-old actor was first arrested by the Nigerian
Army last Thursday for wearing Biafra regalia in Onitsha, Anambra State.
He was arrested in Upper Iweka Bridge by soldiers while
carrying out a charity exercise.
Agu was, however, released by the Nigerian Army on Friday,
but was re-arrested by DSS operatives.
The secret police was said to have transferred the veteran
actor to Abuja for interrogation.
However, Ozekhome said Agu committed no offence to warrant
his arrest.
He disclosed this in a statement he signed titled:
‘Chiwetalu Agu Released By DSS’.
“Several interactions were held by the chambers with the DSS
operatives, who were, however, very civil and very cooperative.
“Agu was released this (Tuesday) evening to Steve Eboh and
Monalisa Chinda (Director of Media, Actors Guild of Nigeria), by the DSS at
their headquarters in Abuja, after a careful search on his phones showed
nothing incriminating,” he said.
