“It’s forever changed because your name can never be the same,” Abdul Razak Alhassan said.

You never know what’s going to happen.”

“I even doubted if I’d be alive, because I wanted to kill myself,” Abdul Razak Alhassan said. “Cause people don’t see what happens in the background. A lot of people who doubt you, or say bad stuff about you when they don’t know the truth, because this is the type of harassment you don’t wish on anybody. I sat down and thought about it. I have two kids. I have a girl and I have a boy. What would happen to them if I took myself out? Because of some evil people. But like I said I have proved my innocence and I proved that they will never amount to anything and God will always figure out and show the truth. But I learned so much from it.”
