DSS are very active.

Fool!!

Sunday2021:
Very good DSS. The useless old fool must die in prison.

The northern political leadership are blowing issues beyond proportion.

Biafra means many thing to many people.

Chiwetalu Agu view of Biafra might not mean the same thing with that of IPOB.

He might prefer a Biafra that seek to dialogue peacefully with the federal government.

So the federal government should stop molesting him.

Chiwetalu Agu championing the course of Biafra does not necessarily mean he is attempting to breakup Nigeria.

Meanwhile, he was in a social event sharing bread.

I JOIN OTHER WELL MEANING NIGERIANS TO CALL FOR HIS UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE BY THE DSS.

The federal government over-reacted in their action.

THEY SHOULD LEARN TO "LOOK AND THROW EYES"

You cough they jump at you.

Why are we in DEMOCRACY?

Is it not to have a country that will guarantee our rights and priviledges.

Rights to association freely, right to free speech, right to fair hearing etc

In as much I agree with you but his timing was wrong

The harassment and arrest of celebrated Nollywood actor, Mr. Chiwetalu Agu, on Thursday, 7th October, 2021 by the Nigerian Army is illegal, unconscionable and unwarranted. The actor has not committed any criminal offence known to law. The Nigerian Army should stop ridiculing itself before the international community.

Supposing without conceding that the dressing of the legendary actor amounts to "incitement" as claimed by the Army, it is the Nigeria Police Force that should have responded. There is no evidence of incitement against him. Nothing was inscribed on the said cloth to incite the public.

Is the Army suggesting that wearing clothes with certain colours or identifying with certain colours amounts to inciting people to violence or that any colour identical to the Biafran flag is inciting?. That will be a dangerous proposition. If they are convinced about such whimsical argument, the government should test it in a competent court of law. The allegation that he is recruiting for or supporting IPOB is unsupported by evidence. It is a way of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it. Discerning Nigerians can see through the smoke screen.

The military has no power in a constitutional democracy to arrest citizens; except in very special and exceptional circumstances like during war, state of emergency, insurrection or riot. Even at that, it has to be shown that the Police has been overwhelmed. That is the purport of Section 217 of the 1999 Constitution which limits the role of the Armed Forces to defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria and acting in aid of civil authorities. Is Nigeria at war?

What did Chiwetalu Agu do that overwhelmed the Nigeria Police Force to warrant the Army stepping in to aid the police in arresting him?

We have become so used to lawlessness, impunity and flagrant disregard for the fundamental rights of citizens that we now condone whatever nonsense is thrown at us by the authorities.

Wearing a cloth with colours similar to the Biafran flag is not defined as an offence under any written law in this country. It is IPOB that was proscribed, not Biafra.

A significant portion of the Nigerian population still sees Biafra as an idea. No government can kill an idea that people are emotionally attached to by deploying the military. History has shown that the best way to defeat an idea is by propagating a superior and more persuasive idea. In the last six years, the Buhari regime has been propagating the idea that the best way to govern a diverse country like Nigeria is by pursuing a vindictive policy of exclusion, religious bias and ethnic supremacy which has further polarized the citizens and isolated different parts of this country.

By promoting nepotism and ethnic irredentism, Buhari is not qualified to propagate a Pro-Nigeria ideology that can counter the renewed agitations by a section of the South East for Biafra. Rather than heal old wounds, Buhari is ferociously opening new ones. Yet, he continues to parrot the fallacy that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.

While I wholeheartedly condemn the wanton killings in the South East and the ensuing violence, there should be no tolerance for high-handedness and blatant disregard for the rights of the citizens. Rules of Engagement must be strictly followed.

By the combined effect of Section 36 ( and (12) of the 1999 Constitution, an act or conduct is only a crime if it is so defined in a written law which must also prescribe the punishment for the offence. The Supreme Court had resolved this matter long ago in the celebrated case of AOKO V. FAGBEMI (1961) 1 NLR 400 and more recently in the case of GEORGE V. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA [2014] ALL FWLR (pt. 718) 879.

The very idea of telling citizens what colour of cloth to wear is not only ludicrous but offensive. We are not in Communist China or North Korea.

It is a sad commentary that the Buhari regime is working day and night to turn Nigeria into a police state.

If the military authority has a movie role for Chiwetalu Agu, they should approach him with respect with their offer and desist from making a mockery of the security situation in the South East. The attack on Chiwetalu Agu is a painful reminder that the Buhari regime is ruling Nigeria with the mindset of the civil war.

Under this regime, peaceful young Nigerians were shot and killed by the same Nigerian Army while raising the Nigerian flag and singing the national anthem at the Lekki Toll Gate. Till date, no single soldier has been court-martialed for that abominable desecration of what is supposed to be sacred national symbols. Yet, the same Army arrested Chiwetalu Agu for wearing a cloth identical to the Biafran flag.

In other words, under the draconian Buhari regime, both 'Biafran colours' and Nigerian colours are symbols of "incitement" with severe punishment that includes death. That is not how to build and unify a nation.

The Army should apologize to the iconic actor and pay him adequate compensation for subjecting him to harassment and public humiliation.

baralatie:

Even!

Since according to you he is proud to die for Biafra!

Why are you crying?

From time immemorial, many strong men have died for what they believe in.

No problem !

Can you take his place at DSS so that he can go to his family

Meanwhile you carry the problem since you believe in it

a usually rectangular piece of fabric of distinctive design that is used as a symbol (as of a nation), as a signaling device, or as a decoration..... Webster's definition of a flag!!! Just saying.... It is as simple as that....

They are good in inciting people at the comfort of their bedroom because they have MB in their phone.

Just like Nnamdi Kanu. Telling ignorant ipob youths to fight Nigeria security forces while he and his family are living in UK

Regie2bless:
oga what is your point? Your statement show support for ipob even with using the word. That is how you guys claped Mr chiwatala agu into problem. Encouraging people to do what u and your imidiate family will not do and when it backfires you will start blaming federal government. Was Mr. Chiwatala agu not aware how D husband of Dr. akinyuli was murdered? Or is not aware of the killing and burning of security personnel and properties. So sad is experiencing this problem but it must be said he brought it upon himself. Is pate edochie not in the same south east? Have you heard his voice?

That how nnamdi Kanu tell them to join ESn and fight FG while non of his family members are part of the so called ESN.

jmoore:
DSS knows nothing about justice.

They don't even know the constitution.



Only a FOOL will see an attire as treasonable offence.

Chinwetalu Agu has succeeded in showing us how Nigerian army, DSS and co are filled with illiterates.

They left the criminals they should be fighting against and are checking the fashion of clothing one is wearing.

You can as well dress in a known ISIS attire and let's see what follows afterwards.

Mumu DSS what criminal offense will they accuse him of committing in a court of law? Is there any where in the nigerian constitution where wearing the biafran colors is a criminal offense?

Will the DSS bring him to court or end up dumping him at their cell?

I wish they do and real quick too so that their Mumu will be exposed on live TV

Someone should tell the DSS to charge him to court fast and get their ass wiped by sound lawyer

Please, sue the dss and demand your own cut, the country is mad.

Abdul05:
Agu, see where biafra has landed you



Next time, try be a bandit oo so that you wouldn't end up in prison cells.

Well,

That serves as deterrent for others

you no get brain, you should join the army or police in order to amplify your hate for Igbos but be ready to build prisons large enough to accommodate 50 million people. Onye ara!

TheCable LifeStyle

IPOB will soon declare Biafra flag day. DSS would be busy in days to come.

The idiots speak of justice. What courts ordered his arrest? Anyone supporting this nonsese is not only a born slave but an idiotic one.

Sunday2021:
Very good DSS. The useless old fool must die in prison.

Including your pman

Sunday2021:
Very good DSS. The useless old fool must die in prison.

You mean 1999 constitution has been ameded to include DSS throwing people to prison? Common don't disgrace schooling now.

Are these people being harassed by the military IPOB? Do you think that a government should be held to much higher standards than a Ragtag Gang of criminals call IPOB? Its no excuse to treat people in this way. You have to accept that we have laws in this country. Who should DSS ARREST IN THIS PHOTO?

stanluiz:
Ipob is no1 human right abuser in Nigeria.

Ipob is worst than Nigeria government they criticize.

The ipob that is still using their foot soldiers to enforce sit at home every Monday only to come to the media and deny their wicked acts.

As a proscribed group, don't you think putting on anything that is symbolic of such group could be seen as an offense? Same goes to Boko Haram, if u see someone holding or wearing Boko Haram flag, won't u alert the authorities? Let's tell ourselves the truth, chiwetelu agu went too far. But I pray he comes out of this mess soon.

achillesfoot:
Sometimes when I hear Nigerians say things like this, they seem to forget Nigeria is a lawless country.. Which lawyer, which case?? You want to win the Fulani led Government... Oga oooo

Well, you're very right.
Naija lawless no be small.

Agu better take his case to the United Nations.

You are not intelligent. Where is IPOB in the attire?

Your statement remains a fabricated opinion beclouded by your support for a foolish government.

They should take him to court and prove he is a member of IPOB. Rising sun was existing before IPOB was formed.

If you don't know the history and culture of a people, you would be beclouded in your judgment.

MASSOB was existing before IPOB. So why would you think the symbol is for IPOB and not MASSOB?

You can't prove your judgement in the law court.

Google 'hero lager beer' and see the logo.

To be offended by the rising sun attire means the offended person needs lectures on the culture of where he/she is staying. Why haven't the army shutdown hero lager factory?
We should stop giving the government reasons to abuse civilians.

emilo2bad:

I am interested and I leave in Akure. 600,000

No sir.
Thank you.

so justice has no power over gummi ?I curse anyone that says we should remain one in this nation

cooooooks:
There have been multi-million naira judgements before, even this year.

Not sure if the judgements are eventually paid.

Mr. Agu is famous enough, and this matter in the public eye, that he is safe from harm by the DSS.

You think our government cares about public eye?
I would be shocked if he makes a kobo
