“I was chained for 32 days. Most of them can’t even count up to a million. They don’t know what they are doing. Instead of killing them, the government should arrest, educate, and rehabilitate them. Some of them want to learn trades. They can still be useful”, he said.
Michael recounted how his wife was killed in his presence.
“When they killed someone infront of you, you’ll give them anything they want. They killed my wife before me. In that moment, If they asked for my head I would have given it”.
