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 vigilante 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.”
