GOVERNOR LENDS VOICE TO THE ESCAPE OF RITUALIST FROM POLICE CUSTODY
The Rivers state government has condemned the escape, from police custody, of Ifeanyi Dike, a suspected rapist and killer of Victory Chikanso, an eight-year-old girl.
The Rivers state deputy governor, Dr Ipalibo Banigo, in a statement on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, asked the Police and other law enforcement agencies to ensure that the suspect is re-arrested and brought to justice without delay.
She stressed that the report that the suspect escaped from the hands of the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) is "totally unacceptable and very embarrassing."
Banigo who condoled with the bereaved family on the gruesome murder of their daughter, said that "as a mother, I am still numb with shock to hear that a man could defile an eight-year-old girl and go ahead to mutilate her body for purported money rituals."
