Suspected Nigerian ritual killer Ifeanyi Dike has been remanded in custody by a Port Harcourt magistrate. The court adjourned the matter indefinitely, pending a report from the Director of Public Prosecutions. Vanguard reports that the university student allegedly murdered his eight-year-old niece, Chikamso Mezuwuba, on 8 August. He was rearrested last week after escaping from the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Unit. Dike is accused of ‘administering a stupefying substance’ to the victim ‘in order to obtain her sensory organs, which include tongue, ear, eyes, nipple, clitoris, nose, fingers with the use of knife’.
