Nigerian military confirmed arresting actor Chiwetalu Agu for wearing an outfit bearing the outlaws flagIndigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and urging people to join it.
IPOB is a group that wants a separatist state in south-eastern Nigeria.
The army has denied reports that the actor was assaulted during the arrest, saying “he tried to put up resistance”.
He will be questioned as the investigations progress.
Ipob was banned in Nigeria, and the military said Agu’s activities to popularize it were against the law.
The military says it recognizes the freedoms enshrined in the constitution as long as they do not threaten national security.
The military shared a photo of Agu being questioned while wearing the outfit:
