Afunaya said, “Army brought him to us. Justice will take its course.”
He, however, refused to answer further questions.
On Thursday, Chiwetalu Agu was arrested at Upper Iweke in Onitsha, Anambra State, for wearing a Biafra-inspired clothing.
In the weeks leading up to the governorship election next month, the state has seen many acts of violence.
The government suspects separatist groups, namely the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), of being behind the attacks, but IPOB denies this.
Chiwetalu Agu has been a vocal supporter of the Biafran cause, accusing the Nigerian government of marginalizing Igbo people.
