According to him, “I am a student of UNIPORT. When I got to Jos, I started hiding again even though I know that nobody knows me there.
“I was living inside an uncompleted building in that place but I could not endure anymore because I was hungry. I now came out and somebody looked for my trouble.
“The Hausa boy then use something like knife to cut my hand, out of anger I took a screw driver and stabbed him. That’s how they took us to police station.
“When we got to the Police, I told the Police who I am but they did not believe me until I called one of my aunties that confirmed to them.
“I know what I have done is wrong. I know that the world is not happy with me but I want to say I am sorry.”

CP Ahmed said the full weight of the law will be brought on Dike. The Commissioner of Police said he was overwhelmed with the response of members of the public on the matte,r adding that the same vigour should be used to help the Police fight crime in Rivers state.
