Former Super Eagles midfielder, Wilson Oruma, has finally broken his silence on his sad experience with fraudsters who duped him close to N2b.

Recall that the ex-Super Eagles captain suffered a relapse of the emotional disorder that bugged him 6-years-ago after he was defrauded by a clergyman and some fake oil businessmen.

According to reports, Oruma was lured into a fake oil business in December 2012 in which he invested the sum of N1.2billion after retiring from football.‎ He eventually lost the investment.

Speaking about it for the first time with the Guardian, he confirmed the sad incident and revealed some of his relations were involved in the deal that saw him lose close to N2 billion.

“This is my first time of speaking with any journalist on this,' he said.

“It is true that I lost all my savings to some people, who turned out to be fraudsters. I have read several stories in the media since then. Those stories did not emanate from me. They quoted different amount, which is not correct. I lost close to N2 billion.”

“The most painful aspect of it all was the fact that some of my relations were involved in the deal. You can imagine losing such huge amount of money to people you trusted. I pray for them to have a human heart and return my money, even if it is part of it. That is my prayer every day, and I know that one day, the hand of God will torch their hearts,” he added.

Oruma featured for Nigeria’s U-17, U-23 and the senior national team, winning the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 1993, the Olympic gold in 1996 and two bronze medals at the African Cup of Nations in 2002 and 2006.

So sad.
Obviously he has been told he doesn't have a case in the Court of Law, Cos I'm wondering why he is begging people that are fraudsters, and he even know some of them, to return his money!!
Instead of getting the best lawyer in the Land.
Well, what do we know.
I really feel so bad for him......

This is what his friend has to say......

His close friend, Emakpor Dibofun said that the former Super Eagles star is yet to recover from the fortune he lost to fraudsters.
“Wilson Oruma hasn’t really recovered from the emotional disorder which he suffered after he was duped.

This is definitely more than depression.
Many people in his case would have jumped into the lagoon by now, just imagine what he looked like some months ago........
Wicked people everywhere....

Wow. People have to realize not all clergymen are men of God. Because they perform miracles does not make them men of God even pharaohs magician performed miracles.

Mumu. I have no atom of pity for him. Very selfish and greedy ediot. People who brought this ediot to the spotlight, he betrayed them all just because his so called family and pastor advices him to. Now he is broke, they all deserted him. Karma is a biatch. Be there looking for sympathy with your white lies.

Before you quote me and talk nonsense, I know him very very well.

Op, He also played at France '98 world Cup and scored the only goal in the 3-1 defeat against Paraguay.

If it were to be in a saner clime, the FA or govt will intervene, get him employed with clubs or sport ministry, and one side be in court fighting for his money and probably settle out of court to retrieve part of the money. But as Naija, where he go get money for lawyer or to even bribe judge(them highest bidder). And if him do mistake die, na there FA go show face and showing solidarity, bunch of mofos.

I feel so sorry for this guy after almost 20years of hard labour going down the drain. sad
