"Today is my birthday, this is what I am eating for my birthday, bread and groundnut paste. It's not easy, those of you who have the freedom, look after yourselves well because if I shouldn't have been in jail, I would have been thinking about fried or Jollof by now," he said.
"It's not bad food but it's disgusting, the prison life is not easy," he continued. In the video below, he showed the prison ward whilst saying that "this is where I sleep".
