The police commissioner restated that his men were closing up on the suspected ritualist, Ifeanyi Dike, who escaped from custody after murdering an eight-year-old girl on August 19, 2017.
He disclosed that N1 million has been pledged as reward for any member of the public with useful information that would lead to the arrest of the fleeing suspect.
During the parade, the alleged kidnap suspect, Peter, told journalists that he had no hand in the abduction and killing of Pastor Okpara Samuel.
