Twenty-three-year old Ifeanyi
Dike, an undergraduate student of the University of Port Harcourt was arrested
and paraded by the Rivers state police Command for allegedly raping and killing
an eight-year-old girl for ritual in Port Harcourt.
Nigeria Police are fond of such dastardly act. They must have taken bribe as usual to let go of the criminal. There's no way that a murderer will be so loosely kept in an unguarded custody and being able to escape without insider collaboration.
