Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF have re-arrested a suspected ritual killer, Ifeanyi Dike, who murdered an eight-year-old girl, Victory Chikamso Nmezuwuba and escaped from prison some few weeks back.
Dike, who was rearrested in Jo’s, Plateau State capital on Thursday, was said to have been immediately brought to Port Harcourt.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Dike, a 2oo-level Physics student at the University of Port Harcourt was recently identified by the institution as a bonafide student.
The university confirmed the identity, via a statement issued last week in Port Harcourt, by Dr. Williams Wodi, UNIPORT’s spokesman.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that the suspect was accused of abducting, raping, killing and dismembering the body of his eight-year-old niece, Chikamso Nmezuwuba, on Aug. 19 for ritual purposes.
The suspect was arrested by members of a vigilance group in the Eliozu area in Port Harcourt, while he was on the way to dispose the body of Chikamso, after using other parts of her body for a ritual.
The suspect was handed over to the Rivers Police Command but escaped while in detention.
Wodi said the management of the university was worried about the development particularly the disappearance of the suspect from detention.
“Any university administration and indeed all Nigerians should be very concerned about having students in any of our universities who turn out to be suspected ritual murderers.
“The university is working tirelessly with law enforcement agencies to fish out and bring to speedy justice such dubiously motivated characters who masquerade as a student.
“UNIPORT is working in concert with security agencies with the focus to re-arresting and bringing the suspect to book to serve as a deterrent to any other student with similar intent.
“We condole with the traumatized family of Chikamso and pray for the eternal repose of her soul while hoping for speedy justice to punish the offender,” he said.
