Clifford Orji man eater,who died three weeks ago, may have been rejected even in death by family members.
This is because nobody has come to claim his body.
Orji died after 13 years of awaiting trial in Kirikiri Maximum Prisons, Lagos, and his body was deposited at the Isolo General Hospital mortuary.
An authoritative source at the hospital, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Orji’s body was brought to the hospital by prison officials.
However, since then, neither the family members nor the prison officials have come to check on it.
The source said the hospital authorities have been waiting for whoever would take responsibility for the corpse. He went further to say that there had been similar cases where family members refused to claim their dead ones and after a period the hospital management procured necessary documents from the law courts, Ministry of Health and other relevant authorities to bury the abandoned corpses.
But in the case of Clifford Orji, our hands are tied. We are patiently waiting to see what the government would do because, as it is, nobody is willing to claim the body.”
Clifford orji gained national attention following allegation that he killed and ate human beings and sold their parts to ritual killer.
