“I feel bad. Sometimes I will just be talking to myself, I cry, and I even feel like I am going mad,” he said during the interview.

Abu Trica disclosed that he spent an entire month in a single room while in NACOC custody. He explained that he was kept alone in the dark room throughout the period, a situation he believes severely affected his mental well-being.

He noted that the isolation was extremely difficult to cope with and left a lasting impact on his mental state.

The social media personality further revealed that one of his biggest worries during the period was his four-year-old child.

He said thoughts about his child constantly occupied his mind while he remained locked up and unable to communicate freely with loved ones.

Abu Trica also maintained his innocence regarding the allegations that led to his detention. He insisted that he has never been involved in drug-related activities and claimed that NACOC officials were aware of this after conducting background investigations on him.

According to him, authorities carried out checks and received information confirming that he had no history of involvement in narcotics-related offenses, he was still detained.

Despite his release, Abu Trica said the emotional scars from the experience remain, as he continues to struggle with the memories of the month-long detention and its impact on his mental health.
