A former Super Eagles star player,
Wilson Oruma, it has been confirmed
lost his mind for two years battling with
insanity after he was duped by
fraudsters introduced to him by a
Lagos-based frontline Pentecostal
Pastor, (name withheld) whose church
(name withheld) is located in the Suru-
Lere area of the state.
Oruma’s travail started in 2012 when
the Pastor in question invited the former
victorious Golden Eaglets captain to a
private meeting in the church to discuss
the possibility of investing heavily into
what he described as a lucrative
business where he promised to invite
the mega bucks investors to the church
a week later. A date was fixed for this.
It was at the second meeting, it was
gathered that the former Atlanta 96
Olympic gold medallists was introduced
to some well-dressed gentlemen who
were said to be in possession of some
oil blocks they were ready to sell to the
rich ex-international. Oruma, who acted
alone without consultation with any of
his lawyers and his close friend, Mr.
Emakpor Dibofun, believed the story of
the fraudsters and never suspected any
foul play as they were introduced by his
Pastor.
He was advised to invest heavily so as
to yield heavy profit. The two-time
African Nations Cup bronze medallist,
withdrew funds from all his investments
across Europe in three months and
withdrew his life savings to ensure he
pumped enough money into the oil
business. He did not suspect any foul
play as the Pastor kept assuring him
that, the people are credible and are
God fearing business investors.
In all, Oruma paid a whopping
N1.2billion into the dedicated bank
account given to him to make payments
which he did over six months. The ex-
soccer star that played alongside Frank
Ribery and Samir Nasri in his days at
Olympique Marseille FC of France
started suspecting foul play when he did
not hear from the people again and they
failed to pick their mobile phones on
days scheduled for important updates.
He ran to his Pastor for possible
succour and reassurance that all was
well, but instead the Pastor rebuffed
Oruma and told him that, he was a full-
time minister of God who knew nothing
about oil business, but only introduced
him to those he believed could help
make his business empire larger.
The Pastor asked if he was involved in
the business dealings all the while and
the answer was a capital no. He thus
divorced himself from any blames
leaving the soccer star to lick his own
wounds but he was not strong enough
to withstand the attendant
psychological pressure. A few weeks
after this ordeal, Oruma started
behaving funny. He started talking to
himself and had hot altercations with
his wife at their Victoria Garden City
home in Lagos.
It was gathered that, it was after one of
the series of altercations with his wife
who blamed him for the family’s
misfortune and huge loss of money that
Oruma busted out of their home in VGC
and stormed a popular supermarket
where he destroyed valuables. He was
wrestled to the floor, with his legs and
hands tied to avoid further destruction.
From this day in 2012, Oruma’s
unstable mind became pronounced. His
close friend, Emakpor with his hands
and legs tied took the soccer star to a
church in Warri, Delta state for spiritual
healing. After destroying valuables in
the church, Oruma escaped to his VGC
home in Lagos where he continued to
disturb residents. It was also learnt that
with his unstable mind, he gave out one
of his expensive SUVs worth N14million
to a friend who speedily drove away the
vehicle.
To avoid further embarrassments of
VGC residents, Oru-ma’s family agreed
to take him to his Suru-Lere home near
Brown Street in Aguda, Lagos where
secret treatments continued. He was
first taken to the church where he was
duped, which was nearby his Aguda
home. Here, the culprit pastor after
some failed attempts to heal the player
advised that he should be taken back
home as Oruma had been hit by a
strange mental illness which defiled all
known treatments.
The ex-international was tied and
closely monitored in his Aguda home
for over one year as the family sought
spiritual healing for him. The player,
who started his football career at
Tamuno Babes FC of Warri, was not
taken to an orthodox mental hospital in
his family’s attempt to conceal his
ailment from the public.
Oruma suffered untold hardship for two
years as his family with the help of his
close friend and former teammate,
Emakpor Dibofun, took him to number
Pentecostal churches in Lagos seeking
spiritual healing. The much desired
healing eventually came few weeks ago
when he was given a clean bill of health
as he overcame the mental illness. He
has started walking again as the sores
on his legs from long period of being
tied down in one place are healing fast.
In the words of Oruma’s kid brother,
Dominic a former Golden Eaglets and
Flying Eagles goalkeeper; “Wilson is
recovering fast, he now recognizes his
family members and he has returned to
his house in VGC under the care of his
wife. We are very happy about this. It
was not easy seeing him suffer so
much in the last two years after his
money was taken away. We give God
the glory for the gift of healing.
“He has told us not to press charges
against the pastor who brought
fraudsters to dupe him heavily as he
said the incident is now in the past.
Another good thing is that all his
properties are intact and most of his
major investments are doing fine.”
Oruma was captain of the Nigeria
Under-17 team that won the 1993 FIFA
U-17 World Cup where he emerged the
tournament’s top goal scorer with six
goals. He played 19 international
matches over 11 years for Nigeria and
was part of the team that participated in
the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he
scored in the only appearance he made
in the tournament against Paraguay. He
was also a part of the squad that won
the Olympic gold medal in 1996, a year
after he debuted for Nigeria.
He played for the Eagles at the 2002
and 2006 Africa Cup of Nations,
finishing both competitions at third
place. Oruma played most of his club
career in France, after arriving at RC
Lens in 1994. He was loaned to Nancy
a year after. He returned to Lens and
played in their 1997-98 Ligue 1 title
campaign.
He moved to Turkish side Samsunspor
in 1998 and returned to France one year
later to play for Nîmes. In 2000, he was
transferred to Swiss side Servette,
played two seasons before coming back
to France again, where he played until
2009 for Sochaux, Marseille and
Guingamp, winning the 2003-04 Coupe
de la Ligue with Sochaux and the
2008-09 Coupe de France title with
Guingamp. The former Nigerian
international announced his retirement
from football at the age of 33 on
November 26, 2010.
He last played his international football
for Kavala FC of Greece, before bidding
farewell to football.
