The Rivers State CP also revealed that the Police Command will give the sum of N1 million to the person who provided information leading to the arrest of Dike in Jos, Plateau State as promised.

Dike was re-arrested in the city of Jos early last Friday morning and he is currently in police custody.

Before he escaped police custody weeks ago, Dike was arrested by local vigilante group who later handed him over to men of the Rivers State Police Command after he was caught with the lifeless mutilated body of the eight-year-old girl.

Reports say he was nabbed after trying to dispose of the remains of the little girl said to be the child of his neighbour after cutting off her eyes, tongue and vagina.
