TROOPS ARREST CHIWETALU AGU WHILE SOLICITING SUPPORT FOR PROSCRIBED IPOB

Troops of Nigerian Army(NA) have arrested one Chiwetalu Agu while inciting members of the public and soliciting for support for the proscribed Indegenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Dressed in a very well known attire of the proscribed group, Chiwetalu Agu was picked up for questioning while inciting members of the public to join the proscribed group. Though he attempted puting up some resistance when troops made effort to take him into custody, he was not assaulted or subjected to brutalization.

While the NA recognizes the inalienable rights of the citizenry to freedom of movement and expression as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is apparently a violation for any individual or group to incite the public to cause mayhem or break down of law and order. It is therefore pertinent to state that while exercising such freedoms, it must be done within the confines of the law, bearing in mind the imperative for peace, and national security.

For the avoidance of doubt and emphasis, the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) remains proscribed . Therefore, any individual or group seen to be projecting and advancing the cause or activities of the group is viewed as brazenly challenging the constitutionality of Federal Republic of Nigeria. More worrisome, was the fact that considering the prevailing security situation of the region, coupled with the ongoing Exercise GOLDEN DAWN , his action could be a tacit endorsement and support for the proscribed group. We have all witnessed the activities of the group take a violent dimension in recent times.

Chinwetalu Agu has clearly demonstrated uncharitable disposition to negate peace and security in the region, hence, he is taken into custody for preliminary investigation. It is important to once again place on record that the allegation that he was brutalized is false and should be disregarded accordingly.

While the NA would not allow IPOB and its sponsors to hold the region captive and allow the security situation to degenerate, it is instructive to restate that national interest supercedes any parochial consideration. Individuals or groups who fan the embers of violence are warned to desist or face the consequences of their actions. The ongoing Exercises are on course and will rid the region of all forms of criminality.

The peace loving and law abiding people of the South East are enjoined to please
go about their normal activities, as efforts are ongoing to bring perpetrators of violence to book. They are equally urged to continue to support the security agencies to restore normalcy to the region in furtherance of peace.

Ezigbote Adaka k' ibu, your username is not a coincidence.

BIAFRA is BIAFRA, there is nothing you or any individual can do about it.

There was BIAFRA before Nigeria, and there shall be BIAFRA after Nigeria.

Ekwensu don Romance Mamiwota finally


The Hypocrisy of the NA is even making me to support IPOB and it's armed groups unconditionally.

CondemnBattery:

CONDEMNED BRAIN

Not in support of the Nigerian army manhandling him but we're missing the fact that it's illegal to don the flag of Biafra on Nigerian soil. Simple as abc, but those soldiers sef, this man na agba now, una for just do am jeje

They described him as if they don't know who he is ...


NA just dey too funny and honestly , the civil unrest in the south east should be a police matter. Unfortunately, our police are badly underequipped and poorly trained to address the situation.
NA will only use brute force which could further escalate the situation.

Calling someone who can give you a good life that your p man was not able to afford you, an idiot.


Your STUPIDITY really dey blow mind.

This man was always very wicked in Nollywood movies cha.
I remember Ikparikpa.

Abeg NA. You guys should temper justice with mercy. He's a veteran

Making fp twice, una too like Biafra news ...

I guess he will be court-martialled! Truth is, no law is good law that says you cannot express yourself so long as you are not indecent and violent about it. What is in the colour? Is it recognised by the UN as the symbolic representation of an independent State within the Nigerian State? What is Nigeria afraid of! The concept of Nigeria as one Nation has clearly been a ruse. It is a desirable way to go for me but not when it is a ruse! Many must be wondering when the Nigerian Army became a Police outfit! A good legal team should be put in place for his defence. The Nigerian Army has failed serially at stamping out terrorism threatening the territorial integrity of Nigeria (their primary duty). If care is not taken they will have a guerrilla war on their hands. No conventional Army does good fighting an unconventional war such as guerrilla. Ask US about the Vietnam experience. At the mention of Nam many Vietnam vets will pee in their pants and nurse PTSD all over again!

He'll be released soon...no biggie

These army guys no dey shame. They are quick to sight this old man and manhandle him but are nowhere to be seen while the unknown gunmen have been wrecking havoc everyday.

The octogenarian choose the part of disgrace & dishonor to the memory of Ojukwu the great by going against his will & testament that Nigeria is indivisible.
The days of these unscrupulous elements are numbered, watch and see before the end of two market days, KARMA will serve them very hot porridge.

Wisdom is profitable to direct. You see army u dey form guy man. Na wetin you dey find. Wahala .

Misplaced priority from the army
Mtcheew

Stupid Nigerian army, the people u claim to secure don't even like you in their land, they know your evil plans and intentions. Fools.

Apparently, he wasn't manhandled.

If Army manhandle him, they won't snap him because he won't look photogenic for a long period of time.

My love for Chiwetalu Agu have grow more.





I love Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


I love Chief Chiwetalu Agu.

It seems the nigerian army is more scared of the biafran colors than even bombs.
