Kyari said: “There was drama in Igbosere court today as Evans refused to come down from black maria to enter the court, not until the sitting judge ordered that he should be bundled to the court.
“The warder also said he had refused to follow them from prison but he was dragged.”
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Speaker of the Lagos state House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa has hinted that Evans might be prosecuted in the state.
The argument is that most of his alleged criminal activities were carried out in Lagos state where he was also arrested in his Magodo estate mansion.
Obasa gave the hint on Thursday, July, 13, at the 2nd edition of the state House of Assembly/Media and Civil Society organisations parley where issues relating to security dominated discussions.
