Nigerian Army speaks on Chiwetalu Agu's arrest

A statement from the Nigerian Army spokesman, Onyema Nwachukwu, noted that Chiwetalu Agu was soliciting support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the commercial city, while dressed in their colours.

The army explained that Chiwetalu Agu demonstrated an uncharitable disposition to negate peace and security in Onitsha, hence, his arrest.

According to the army, the allegation that Chiwetalu was brutalized is false and should be disregarded accordingly.
