Back in police net: Suspected undergraduate ritual killer, Ifeanyi Dike

The Rivers State police command has confirmed the re-arrest of fleeing suspected ritual killer, Ifeanyi Dike.

The Commissioner of Police in the state Zaki Ahmed informed Channels Television that the suspect was nabbed in Jos, Plateau state by men of Special Anti-Robbery squad in the state in the early hours of today and is currently under secure arrest.

The suspect allegedly broke into the home of an unnamed resident and stabbed him in what appears to be a robbery incident.

The Rivers command is currently working with its counterpart in Jos to bring him back to Port Harcourt to face the law.

Ifeanyi Dike is the 200-level student of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), who was earlier arrested by the Rivers State command of the Nigeria Police for allegedly raping and killing an eight-year-old girl and cutting off some parts of her body for ritual purposes. (Channels TV)
