Veteran nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu has recounted his experience in the custody of the Department of State Service DSS.
Recall that Agu was first first arrested by soldiers , on Tuesday, October 7, before being handed over to the DSS who took him to Abuja. He was later releaed to the Actors Guide of Nigeria AGN on October 12.
During a speech at a welcome party organized for him by the AGN, Agu said that he was treated with respect by the DSS officers.
He said:
”It didn’t start well but God took control. I was only buying bread for the poor. Soldiers came in and started scattering things.
They said they are calling me in the office but they did not tell me my offence. Because they did not tell me my offence, I refused to follow them.
That drama that took place was important so that they will know that Igbo are here. That moment of Upper Iweka till the time we got to the army barracks close to Zik Mausoleum, to 82 Division of the Nigerian Army and to DSS office in Abuja, nobody touched me. They treated me with respect.
Every officer wanted to be involved in the case so that they can have opportunity to interact with Chiwetalu Agu.”
