The statement read;
“I could have died from COVID-19 if not for my doctors. I followed their instructions strictly and took my medications. My wife collaborated with Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, the deputy governor and seized my phones while in isolation. I was only left with an iPad, the device I used to read, and go online.
“I’m truly ageing, I’m a few steps above 60 and this disease is not kind to the old, I’m old. That is the danger. If one is above 50, one should be very careful not to contract the virus.

“To an aged person with other health complications like diabetes and hypertension, coronavirus will be very deadly.
“When I came out from isolation, I intended to leave my beard because it was the tradition of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be with him. But as I visited my mother to greet her, she was against my new look. She asked me to shave. According to her, my father was not bearded during his lifetime.
“I had no option but to shave my beard because I want to live peacefully with my mother.” he added.
