Mislead the people

"Alhamdulillah (praise be to God), my health is improving fast," he said, showing the healing wounds of the surgery.

Musa conveyed his thanks to the doctors and other staff at IJN as well as the people who had prayed for his good health.

Asked whether he intended to take legal action over the publication of the report, he said his siblings had discussed the matter with him but he left it to them to make a decision.
