I’ve been missing now for several weeks. I can tell you I’m now safe and healthy and with my wife. I was taken close to the Hattar-Omani border by men at gunpoint and then I was captured by men with assault rifles.‌"They did slap me around a little bit, little s***s and I was hand-tied, shackled and also with a hood over my head. From there I was taken to a black site and I had no use of my phone and from what I know it was an extended arm of the National Guard and that’s all I can reveal at the moment.‌"I have signed disclaimers now with state security and from there I was put into the system. At no point have I faced anything to do with fraud allegations or any criminal activities such as that.”In a second video he said: "I am sending these messages out to my loved-ones and my beautiful wife who without her help involving all the UK authorities, I don't think I would have got out of that situation."Because of the tensions and things happening in the region and me being so close to the border, this is why I was suspected of espionage and held in a state security building without the use of a telephone and any rights such as a shower, contact or speak to anybody including the embassy or my wife.Article continues below"So thank you to Katie for making such a noise that the UAE actually listened and let me go. From there I did have a civil case in Dubai which led to me going into the mainstream prison during the Arabic holidays."Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Katie Price
