why are you people poluting this thread, this is not the first case of cannibalism we have seen in nigeria, there are many cases including the recent one of two brothers that ate their sibbling in lagos 2 weeks ago. i wonder why this cliford orjis own is always making headline they should give it a rest, the news is just disgusting.

onomeasike: the sad part of it is that,for 12 solid years this man was incacerated,this man was not proven to be a cannibal as popularly believed,all these hypocritical I-love-my-brother-for-mouth MASSOB,OHANEZE,IBO WORLD CONGRESS and all these useless tactless ibo kwenu DID NOT EVEN MAKE A CASE FOR HIS TRIAL IN A COMPETENT COURT ,For GODSAKE,even AL-MUSTAPHA with all his alleged attrocities still had his people pleading for his trial/pardon.

SHAME ON NDIGBO!!

YOU SMOKE COKE. Why didn't you plead for him. Nonsense

It is tragic what nairaland has become.....its so full of immature and ill-bred persons!!!
How can people be cursing each other mothers on a thread on the demise of Clifford Orji!

mc~evans:


A Legend as the 1st Nigerian Cannibal right? Give yourself a round a applause.

what's wrong with being a cannibal? he was eating corpses anyways - its not like he kills them before eating them. he picked up victims of hit and run on the motorway and dices them for dinner. majority of these corpses are left to decompose anyways so what's the biggie?

a legend like clifford orji shouldn't have been allowed to just die like that. it simply shows our country is far behind their counterparts if there's no mental home that could house orji. he shouldn't have been in the prison. he wasn't even tried - he has been on remand for the past 13 years without trial! shame on our judiciary system -what are the odds that clifford was actually guilty of the offence?

So he has been alive? I thot he died long ago. May his cannibalistic soul rest in pieces...

Mr Man, its no longer news that this country lacks adequate medical facilities. Facilities are not enuf to acomondate reasonable human beings, ur talkin of a cannibal.
Shame on our Judicial system u said? Is it d judicial system dt made him mad? Or u expected an insane cannibal to appear in court? I wish u were hs counsel maybe he would av eaten up ur irrational arse.
As a mater of fact, he corpse shuld nt be burried but fed to d vultures of taken to Okija-Forest..

onomeasike: Clifford Orji dies in Kirikiri Prison


Alleged cannibal and 12 years inmate of Kirikiri Maximum Prison, Clifford Orji, has died of unknown causes.

Prison authorities said Orji died Friday morning and the cause of death is unknown; but an autopsy is being performed.

The PUNCH had reported on April 13, 2012, that Orji’s health was deteriorating due to the refusal of psychiatric hospitals to take him in.

The Deputy Comptroller of the prison, Mr. Noel Ailewon, had said Orji was in a bad state and had gone completely mad.

“Orji’s health is getting worse. He has gone completely mad, vomiting and even defecating without restraint and is naked most of the time” he said

The Director of Office of the Public Defender, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, had said during a visit to evaluate the number of Awaiting Trial Persons that following a court order, Orji was taken to two Psychiatric hospitals for treatment but had been rejected.

“Initially, we took Orji to Yaba Psychiatric Hospital but was rejected because they claimed they did not have long-term medical facilities. Subsequently, he was taken to another hospital in Ewekoro but was similarly rejected” she said.

It was learnt that due to this challenge, Orji, who was 46-years-old, could not stand trial in court.

The Attorney-General of the state, Mr. Ade Ipaye, had said Orji’s case was stalled due to the impediments, adding that unless Orji received proper medical attention, he would not stand trial.

“Orji is mentally disturbed and no hospital is accepting him. Unfortunately, one cannot be tried mentally stable, so, he’s stuck in the middle. All we can do now is find help for him” he said.

Orji was arrested in February 1999 by the police under the bridge along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. He was subsequently charged before an Ebute-Meta Magistrate’s Court on 19 February but was never tried.

The acting Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Prison command, Mr. Biyi Jeje, confirmed Orji’s death to our correspondent on the telephone.

“As at Thursday, Orji was fine but on Friday morning, he died in his sleep. The cause of his death is still unknown but an autopsy is being performed,” he said.

Jeje confirmed that Orji was rejected by many mental health facilities in the country and maintained that the prisons authorities did all it could to manage his illness.

“We took Orji to many health facilities but he was rejected time and time again. I don’t know why they rejected him but we did all we could to manage his illness”, he said.

The bolded is the sad case of the Nigerian law system. They are very primitive for God sake.

was there any credible proof that clifford actually ate those people or we are being fed with police lies as usual?

Shame on our Judicial system u said? Is it d judicial system dt made him mad? Or u expected an insane cannibal to appear in court? I wish u were hs counsel maybe he would av eaten up ur irrational arse.

you're a consummate retard!
so because he's insane means the judiciary shouldn't have catered for him? most prisons should have a psych ward where prisoners would be in a single cell and where the medics can administer drugs for a mindfuck like clifford. nothing was done - his rights got violated - left in detention for 13 yrs without trial and you are here spewing nonsense..

you are a disgrace to the community that sponsored your education...

As a mater of fact, he corpse shuld nt be burried but fed to d vultures of taken to Okija-Forest..

with the above statement, it's obvious your state of mind is worse than clifford's...

Since all dis years! I had he was kil whn dey catch him? Why is nigeria like dis how can dey let human eater stay dis long! Is every tins about moni and connection! I read news about a man who stole 4k from market he was judge by court. He was kill for stealin he never spend more than 5day in prison but a flesh eater cnd stay dis long!

Why won't Ghanians be abusing us.Lets try to resolve our issues and live as one happy family..

Centinno01: Am an igbo person but clifford can proceed to hell straight,

What if he was innocent of allegations? Will the state or his accusers go straight to hell?
There was no proof that he was killing people let alone cannibalizing.
Do you think its easy for a homeless man to kill a human and hide the body? Did he kill and consumed the entire flesh, bones, skull and drank the blood in just one night under the bridge? The truth is that we Africans lack the ability for proper reasoning and forensic know how. We love rumours! We live it and eat it!
If it wasn't for the whiteman we would have still been worshipping crude oil sprouting from the ground and calling it the urine of the gods.
Now they have helped us turn "our gods urine" to a money making venture and the money has been our bane. We fight and kill ourselves over it now.
AFRICA MY AFRICA! WHO WILL REDEEM US?

@onomeasike Abraham
lincoln once said,"it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool
than to speak out and remove all doubt".it beats my imagination why
people seek every little opportunity to get tribalistic and bigoted. How
does it concern u if all d igbo race deserted clifford orji? How is it
ur business if the igbo race abandoned him? What stopped u all these
12yrs 2be his mouthpiece and make sure he stands trial to spite the igbo
race?well.... U didn't n he's dead so keep ur mouth where it belongs
and mind ur business.tribalism and bigotry will get u no where.

He is dead. So can we close the chapter now.
