“I’m really not scared of such things, I believe in technology and the fact that if God decides, there’s nothing I can do. I was not panicking at all.”

The publication adds that Shimza who is set to host his much-anticipated Kunye festival shared that he his worry was about the concert while going through the ordeal.

“It was chaotic inside the aircraft, but my concern was the people who bought tickets and booked their tables, other than that, I knew there was nothing I could do,” commented Shimza.
