Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) has said that the Department of State Services (DSS) released Nollywood veteran, Chiwetalu Agu after finding nothing incriminating on his phone.
Ozekhome made this known in a statement on Tuesday.
“Several interactions were held by the chambers with the DSS operatives, who were, however, very civil and very cooperative.
“Agu was released this (Tuesday) evening to Steve Eboh and Monalisa Chinda (Director of Media, Actors Guild of Nigeria), by the DSS at their headquarters in Abuja, after a careful search on his phones showed nothing incriminating,” Ozekhome said.

Recall that the Nigerian Army had arrested Chiwetalu Agu in Onitsha for wearing Biafran flag regalia.
The Army had accused the actor of trying to incite the public and solicit for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
However, the actor denied the army’s allegations, saying he was only distributing food to the hungry when he was arrested.
After his release by the army, Agu was rearrested by the DSS and taken to Abuja.
