The Department of State Services (DSS) has flown popular veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu, to Abuja as part of ongoing investigations for promoting Biafra and allegedly inciting members of the public.
Recall that Agu was initially apprehended by the Nigerian Army on October 7, 2021, around Upper Iweka in Onitsha, Anambra State, for wearing a Biafran outfit while distributing bread and other items to the poor.
The army had accused him of soliciting support for the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), after which he was handed over to the DSS for investigation and prosecution.
However, a relative of the Nollywood actor told newsmen that family members had been denied access to him.
The relative, who wished to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the case, said Agu was first moved from Anambra to Enugu and then to Abuja.
The relative said, “We spent two days trying to ascertain his whereabouts. We were later informed that he was moved to Enugu and then Abuja.
“We heard that the idea is to move him away from the South-East. We have made efforts to see him, but the DSS has not granted us access. Even the lawyers have not been allowed to reach him.”
