A former Big Brother Africa winner, Uti Nwachukwu, has come under come under heavy fire on social media for saying that he won’t turn his back on Clifford Orji if they happened to be family members.

Nwachukwu stated this while reacting to a recent interview where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exposed the ill treatments they suffered in the Royal Family.

KanyiDaily recalls that during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle revealed that she faced hostility from royals while she lived in the palace due to her race.

This prompted her husband, Prince Harry, to take sides with her and they decided to step down from royal duties and relocate to America.

Reacting on his Twitter page, Nwachukwu said that if love ever makes a person turn his back on family, then the person needs to be careful.

The TV presenter further said he will never join anyone, especially a romantic partner, to condemn and bring down his family, not even if Clifford Orji was part of his family.

Clifford Orji was the first documented Nigerian cannibal who was also indicted in serial killings, kidnappings, and sale of human body parts and was arrested in 1999.

After his arrest, Orji confessed that he either ate his victims or sold their body parts to high ranking Nigerian politicians who rewarded him financially.

He died on August 12, 2012 in Nigeria’s only super-maximum penitentiary where he spent 13 years, and all efforts to locate his family proved abortive because none of them visited him all through the 13 years he spent in prison.

Nigerians have taken to Twitter to drag Uti Nwachukwu for saying “he will support wickedness and evil for the sake of family and will not speak out against it.”

 

KanyiDaily recalls that Nigerians had celebrated Peter Okoye of former defunct music group, P Square, for sticking with his wife against the wish of his family.
