Clifford Orji die in prison

The story of Clifford Orji is a long one but let me try
to summarize it. Clifford Orji was arrested in
February 1999 by the police under the bridge at
Toyota Bus Stop along the Apapa-Oshodi
Expressway in Lagos after passers-by noticed his
strange activities under the bridge. Items found on
him at the time of his arrest was a cheque for the
sum of N88,000, a cell phone, women underwear
and fresh and roast human flesh and bones.
He had roasted one of his victims at the time and
eaten part of her flesh. The police believed Clifford
was mad at the time he was arrested but there was
a theory back then that his madness was fake; that
ritualists put him under that bridge to act like he
was mad, find victims, kill them and sell their body
parts to them. Thus the cheque that was found on
him. His arrest in 1999 was widely celebrated in
the media.
Anyway, after 13 years in prison, Clifford Orji, who
went completely mad in prison, has died. He died
on Friday August 17th in his sleep. He was 46 years
old.
