After being released, he broke his silence as he denied being involved in any fraudulent activity. His statement reads:
"I refused to eat or drink water for two days while I was in custody. I was still in shock of the arrest. It was like the end of the world for me. I only ate on the third day that they allowed my mother to see me.
“Though, I was not maltreated, it was still a surprise to me. As I am talking to you, they have not charged me with any case. It was a matter of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. All the stories of Bitcoin and cars flying around are all rumours. I was arrested in the company of 34 others. Those things were recovered from others but we had a group picture with them before they separated us. They were not mine. I can defend it anywhere, none of those things was recovered from me; nothing was seized from me. Nevertheless, it was an experience I will never forget. It was like a dream till I found out that it was real. Since then, I have not been to work but I promise to be back soon.”
