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.
The Biafran flag is the official emblem of South-East Separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu.
They have been pushing for the eastern part of Nigeria to become a separate country and their campaign has been fraught with violent attacks and abductions in the region.
The group has since been proscribed by the Nigerian Government.
