Soldiers Brutalise Actor, Chiwetalu Agu for Adorning Biafra Attire (video)

Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu was recently seen on an Eastern State street adorning the half of a yellow sun Biafran flag.

The 65-year-old was soon gradually surrounded by a group of heavily armed military men in Army uniforms who first forced him into his official van and then later dragged him out on the road and brutalised him.

A few gunshots were fired in the air causing passers-by to scamper to safety. Agu was then forced into a waiting vehicle by the aggressive armed soldiers.

The incident has stirred public reactions as fans fear for his safety. They also warn the authorities to ensure no harm is done to him as he was only expressing his right peacefully.

In the wake of violent activities by different groups especially the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and unknown gunmen in the Eastern region, the federal government banned the flying of the Biafran flag

IPOB, on its part issued a directive that no Nigerian flag be flown in the South East during the Independence Day celebrations.

Nwa Chi Nemere “You don’t suppress an IDEOLOGY with force you will end up helping it to gain Strength and when it finally does you will be SORRY. Nothing should happen to the Old man Freedom of EXPRESSION IS THE PEOPLE’S INALIENABLE RIGHTS.

“Moreover I haven’t seen the Military treating a Northern Elder in this manner The East deserves RESPECT. We are not a conquered territory the other day the AGF threatened to declare state of Emergency in Anambra over the recent killings in Anambra which we all condemn but turned a blind eye to the happenings in Zamfara where military jets are being shot at now I ask where is the equity??

“Yesterday it was in the news that a Police personnel shot an Unknown gun man just to discover he was a DSS agent nobody is asking pertinent questions  we are not daft in this part of the country even though the current political leaders portray the region in such manner for their own selfish reasons we still have people that have their tats together and can reason properly.“

Castro Mombasa “Nigerian as a country is sitting on a time bomb that will blow very soon,,,,,the blood of innocent people killed have risen and will destroy the name Nigeria,,,,,,,look at someone’s father being treated like a criminal because he was showing support for his identity,,,,I weep for what is coming‘
