Actor Chiwetalu Agu With The DSS

By Charles Igbo

The Directorate of State Services, DSS, is in custody of Nollywood Veteran Actor, Chinwetalu Agu.

But there is confusion over how he got there. While the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, say Agu was picked up  by the DSS, Dr Peter Afunanya, DSS’ Spokesman, was quoted as saying that the Army handed the Actor over to Service.

Agu was arrested on Thursday, October 7, 2021, by Soldiers at the popular Upper Iweka area of Onitsha, allegedly, for wearing a dress made of the Biafran flag. He said he was on a Charity mission, distributing a N10.000.00 worth of loaves of bread to the underprivileged when he was arrested by the soldiers.

But the Army told a different story. It’s Spokesman, Brigadier-General Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement, said the Actor was arrested for incitement and soliciting support for IPOB. Agu had told the soldiers in a Video that went viral that what he was wearing was the rising sun, not IPOB or ESN dress.

Agu was, on Friday morning, released to the Actors Guild to the delight of many who had expressed outrage over his arrest. But, he was, according to the AGN, arrested again by the DSS.
