After the reports about his arrest went viral, Kokozaria took to his social media handle to share a video of himself dancing with one of his daughters.
In another video, some artisans were heard hailing and praying for the NURTW chieftain while noting that his enemies would only try but would never be able to catch him.
However, according to reports reaching Legit.ng from an anonymous source, it was revealed that Kokozaria is currently not in Nigeria and had fled to the United States days before the court asked that he be remanded in jail.
