Cliford Orji Is Back! by plappville(f): 4:00pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
Nigeria’s most celebrated suspected cannibal, Clifford Orji, has appealed to president Umar Yar’Adua to order the judiciary to release him because he did not commit the offences he was accused of. He told P.M.News in his Kirikiri cell that he is fed up with staying in the prison and wants to be set free now. According to him, “please help me tell president Umaru Yar’Adua to order the judiciary to release me now because 10 years after I was arrested and charged to court, nobody has been able to prove that I committed the offences leveled against me.” Orji quoted from a portion of the Bible (1 John 8:32), which, according to him, his pastor instructed him to read everyday: And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. ”Now I have known the truth, I think I should be allowed to walk away as a free man,” he added. After quoting the Bible, Orji went into a trance and was saying some strange things to some unseen spirits. None could fathom what he said. Commenting on Orji’s behaviour, Deputy Comptroller of the prison, Mr. I. A. Ogunmola, said Orji cannot be taken seriously. ”His medical report stated that he is insane. You, too, can see,” the prison official added. Orji, now 43, was arrested in February 1999, by the police, under the bridge along the Apapa-Oshodi expressway. He was subsequently charged before the Ebute-Metta Magistrate’s Court, on 19 February. Items reportedly found on him at the time of his arrest are a cheque for the sum of N88,000; cell phone, allegedly sent to him by his brother, Linus, Managing Director, Crocodile Nigeria Limited. Other items were identified as fresh and roast human flesh, bones and some women underwear. His arrest was celebrated in the media. At a time, it was speculated that he had died in custody. |

Nigeria, where a seriously mentally ill patient is kept in prison, instead of a hospital. Sorry I forgot, Nigeria haven't got a hospital for their own president, let a lone a mad guy. It's not in their blood to cares!!!!!! |

tpia: It will be good idea to educate yourself about this issue before hitting the keyboard, there is something called psychiatrist prison and it normally called a hospital because it not structured as a normal prison and kirikiri is not one of them and Nigeria had non. Jerry Dahmer wasn't diagnosed with any psychitrist illness, just a ruthless evil minded serial killer, who knew what he was doing. He won't have stand trial if he was dignosed with mental illness. He was Just a sadistic psychopart. |

The nigerian authorities should either charge him to court, send him to a mental institution or set him free. They can't just hold this man in prison indefinitely; it's been 10 years already. Abi when did naija turn into Afghanistan |

Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by maxell(f): 7:11am On Feb 05, 2009 |
tpia: Are you saying he already went to trial and was sentenced by a judge ? Because this was the point I was making. If his being in prison is as a result of a judge's sentencing, then I apologize for my previous post. |
Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by spikedcylinder: 7:13pm On Feb 05, 2009 |
MrCrackles: Rofl!!! You're not serious. @ topic He's been locked up for 10 years now, next step is psychiatric evaluation and rehabilitation. The man is obviously not well!!! |
Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by spikedcylinder: 7:15pm On Feb 05, 2009 |
Question: When was Clifford Orji tried in court? |

Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by plappville(f): 1:14pm On Feb 06, 2009 |
spikedcylinder: CLIFORD ORJI is a man eater, he is pretending to be mad, in the article he was talking in strange language that no one understands, maybe he was incanation, he know it will be best for him to act madman so that when caught he will not be killed, but be seen as a madman eater, I know that there is no sin that God cannot forgive but let him confess, i don't know what can the law do to him, but i think he needs God's forgiveness, that man is wild and should not be released just like dat. |
Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by jamace(m): 1:34pm On Feb 06, 2009 |
Abeg make them hold am o. Enough of announcements of missing persons . |
Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by Eziachi: 12:10am On Feb 07, 2009 |
tpia: You seem to have all these facts no one else has, so what was the result of the psychiatric evaluation? At what point was such evaluation outsome presented before a judge in a court? I am not saying Orji should be set free or allowed to roam the street but it obvious that the guy is seriously mentally ill and should be locked up in a mental hospital and not inside a prison along with othe prison as he is a danger not only to himself but the the public too. Condition of Nigerian prison is enough to turn a sane man to a total insanity, let alone an insane person. |

clifford orji is insane and cannot be charged to court according to the criminal code laws of nigeria. his offence is a falony and he should remain in police authority until he is confermed mentally okay, then he will be charged to court. |
Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by funloving(m): 3:17pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
Eziachi: Eziachi, since Nigeria does not have these special psychiatric prisons you mentioned what do you suggest should be done to Clifford Orji? Should he be released to roam the streets and possibly go back to his canibalistic ways or should he be placed in a normal psychiatric hospital where he will probably escape from, after eating a few nurses ? When we argue or proffer solutions we should always consider the reality on ground rather proposing mere idealistic and theoretical soultions that are not immediately workable. Nigeria can't afford to go build a psychiatric prison just becasue of Clifford Orji. |
Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by plappville(f): 9:04pm On Feb 07, 2009 |
funloving:Ask him for me oo, he is talking as if he is not a Nigerian, that guy has some rich men behind him, if he is release to any psychiatric center as u are suggesting, they will fly him out, and what happens to those he innocent souls he ate?? Let him confess he was not looking like any mad guy in the picture they put with this article. |
Re: Cliford Orji Is Back! by jamace(m): 5:36am On Feb 08, 2009 |
clifford orji is insane and cannot be charged to court according to the criminal code laws of nigeria. his offence is a falony and he should remain in police authority until he is confermed mentally okay, then he will be charged to court. How can Clifford Orji get well in Nigeria prison when even sane people become mad in our prisons. If truely he is mad he will get madder in our prisons . |
