Clayton Rodrigues, who is currently imprisoned in Sharjah Central Jail, made an emotional appeal through his wife, Falyn Rodrigues, asserting his innocence and claiming that Anthony Paul falsely implicated him in a drugs case to extort money from his family. However, Chrisann’s release from prison has given him a glimmer of hope and he believes that he, too, will soon return home to his family. 

Clayton has answered mid-day’s questions on how he was trapped, while speaking to his wife
 
How were you caught at Sharjah airport?
Sharjah police officers came aboard the aircraft and announced my name. It was obvious that they were tipped off about the drugs. They frisked me and arrested me. The officers were not aware of my innocence and the trap that Anthony had carefully laid for me.
