Nigerian soldiers have beaten and arrested veteran Nollywood actor, Chinwetalu Agu, for wearing outfit colors of the Biafra flag.
The incident occurred on Thursday along Upper Iweka Road, Onitsha in Anambra state.
According to a viral video that was seen by Goldennationblog.com, the Nollywood actor’s vehicle was stopped by the soldiers who spent no time dragging him out.
Many Nigerians have condemned the circumstances on social media stating that ‘nothing happens to the popular thespian.
Recall, the Nigerian government has banned the display of the Biafra Flag in any part of the country.
Last month, Agu went viral on social media wearing a costume made of the Biafra Flag.
The Biafran flag is the official symbol of the South-East Separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu. The group has since been proscribed by the Nigerian Government.
They have been pushing for the eastern part of Nigeria to become a separate country and their campaign which was fraught with severe attacks and abductions in the region.
