The Police had declared him wanted over the gruesome murder of a young business man, Ndubuisi Nwokolo, on 29^th June, 2018.

Ikanda escaped after the incident which made the Anambra State Government to promise one million Naira (N1,000,000) to anyone who could provide useful information that would lead to his arrest. It was therefore cheering news for Onitsha residents when the news went round that Ikanda has been arrested.

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mustapha Dandaura, while addressing newsmen, paraded the wanted suspect, Ikanda, and six others for various criminal offences, including attack on Ajali Police Station and armed robbery.
