He was arrested Thursday night.

The Commissioner of Police in the state has also sent men to go and get Ifeanyi Dike from the custody of the Jos police force back to the state. “The unfortunate incident touched us. The CP was moved by that development. When the incident happened, the CP placed a reward of N1 Million for anyone that led to his arrest. All hands were on deck. Everybody assisted us. That innocent girl deserves justice,” the elated police image maker said.

Ifeanyi Dike, beat all the security personnel and apparatuses in the state police and escaped from the custody of police the officer handling his matter, Johnbosco Okoroeze, in the presence of the victim’s father. Following the escape, the Rivers State Police Command declared the suspect wanted and released his picture and placed a reward of N1 Million for any person who gave useful information for his re-arrest.

Meanwhile the father of the victim has expressed his happiness over the re-arrest and demanded that the police in Rivers should ensure that Ifeanyi was made to face the law. This is as the police in Rivers were seen jubilating at the police headquarters, Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, jubilating over the capture of the highly-priced suspected ritualist.

  1. I don’t know why people just derive pleasure in killing innocent souls for money. No sinner would go unpunished, so ifeanyiust face the law.

  2. Good for him….. The wicked won’t go unpunished. I wonder why some people still get involve in this very wicked act.
    I congratulate the policemen in charge of this case. And I advice they should do the necessary thing to the culprit before he escapes again.
