A crowd started building up before warning shots were released in the air. In footage seen by THE WHISPERER, Agu was dragged and manhandled by the Soldiers.
Last Month, Agu went viral on social media after wearing an outfit made of the Biafran Flag with many Nigerians stating on social media that ‘nothing must happen’ to the popular thespian.
