Suspected ritual killer, Ifeanyichukwu Maxwell Dike, who
escaped from the custody of the Rivers State Police Command last month,
has revealed how he managed to get to
Jos, after been rearrested by the
Plateau State Police Command.
Dike, a 300-level Physics student at the University of Port Harcourt,
was apprehended by a vigilance group on his way to dispose off the body
of 8-year-old Victory Chikqmso, whom he allegedly kidnapped, raped and
murdered.
He, however, escaped at the state CID, barely 24 hours after being
paraded. But the Plateau State Police Commissioner, Mr. Peter Ogunyanwo,
said the culprit was rearrested in Jos, after breaking into a house in
Barkin Ladi to steal.
Dike while speaking with journalists, said he travelled to Jos from
Port Harcourt through a trailer that loaded goods to Jos. “I came to Jos
on August 21, 2017 because I was trying to run away from the alleged
ritual offense I was said to have committed, but I am not a ritual
killer.
I only had sex with the girl and cut off her body while trying to
escape from the environment, but I am not a ritual killer,” he said.
While speaking on why he was arrested trying to robbed a house in
Barkin Ladi he said: “I thought it was an abandoned house because I was
looking for a place to hide so that people will not identify me, but
unfortunately the owner was in the house and he raised alarm then I was
arrested.”
