Mother of 8-year old who was murdered by suspected ritualistic, Ifeanyi Dike, Mrs. Lucy Nmezuwuba, says she wants the suspect crippled to avoid another escape.
Dike, a 24-year old undergraduate of the University of Port Harcourt allegedly raped and killed 8-year old Chikamso in his house at Messiah Close, Eliozu, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. He further allegedly removed her vital body parts but was arrested by local vigilance group on his way to dispose her body.
He however escaped from the custody of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, in Port Harcourt and fled to Jos before he was rearrested.
Mrs. Nmezuwuba, is said to have urged the police to cripple Dike so he does not escape again.
