A video clip which he issued through the same viral process that he had earlier used, Nuhu said he was misled by fear of the unknown

He said’’ I did that because I don’t know who they were and I was panicked that was why I sent the video to my friend because I don’t know what may happen to me.’’

‘’I want to make this clear that we are fine and everything is fine. We are in FMC Katsina on administration, they are treating us fine, look at me and my mom we are fine thank you’’
