Chiwetalu Agu Arrest: Nigeria Can’t Have Peace Without Justice — Reno Omokri 

Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist has reacted to the arrest of Nollywood veteran, Chiwetalu Agu.

Omokri described it as great justice for Agu to be arrested by the Nigerian Army for wearing a Biafran flag while Sheikh Gumi and Miyetti Allah organization who openly campaigned for terrorists and threatened Nigerians are still free.

The movie legend was walking within the Upper Iweka Bridge in Anambra when the incident occurred.

Two soldiers suddenly accosted, wrestled Agu to the ground and dragged him.

Agu was reportedly sharing food to the less privileged persons when government forces stopped him.

Speaking on the incident, Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Army Public Relations said the veteran actor was apprehended for inciting members of the public and soliciting support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

However, Omokri said the arrest of Agu while Gumi and Miyetti Allah members were free showed lack of justice in Nigeria.

In a series of tweets, Omokri wrote: 

“Miyetti Allah hold press conferences to threaten violence on Nigerians and make provocative statements to the effect that Southern Nigeria belongs to them.

“Soldiers and DSS don’t arrest them. Chiwetalu Agu wore a Biafran flag and was arrested. Where is the justice?

“Sheikh Gumi campaigns for terrorists and sings their praises. Even telling them on camera that Christian soldiers are the ones killing them, thus they should not kill Muslims.

“He is free while Chiwetalu Agu was arrested? Nigeria can’t have peace without justice!”
