The Actors Guild of Nigeria has commended the efforts of Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, for their efforts towards securing the release of Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu, from Army custody on Friday.

This was contained in a statement signed by the AGN Director of Communications, Monalisa Chinda, on Friday, where the association confirmed the release of the Nollywood actor.

Part of the statement read, “The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ejezie Emeka Rollas has secured the release of actor Chiwetalu Agu from the custody of the Nigerian Army.

“The Senior Special Assistant on Military Affairs and Inter-Governmental Relations to the President, Steve Eboh, who confirmed the release from the Army Barracks in Enugu thanked the High Command of Nigerian Army for their cooperation and understanding in the matter.

“The National President also commended the efforts of the leadership of the pan Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo for their collaborative efforts on the matter.

“However, the National President has debunked the earlier statement credited to him on the arrest of the veteran Actor as he has not made any official public or private statement on the matter since his arrest yesterday. The public is hereby advised to disregard the report which trended on social media on the matter.”
