Former Super Eagles midfielder Wilson Oruma has reportedly suffered a relapse of emotional disorder after he was defrauded by a clergyman and some fake oil businessmen.
Oruma, who captained the Golden Eaglets to a victorious feat at the 1993 U-17 World Cup in Japan, was lured into a fake oil business in December 2012, in which he invested a whopping sum of N1.2billion, without proper consultation after retiring from football, according to Completesportsnigeria.com.
Consequently, he was said to have lost the investment.

Wilson (Oruma) hasn’t really recovered from the emotional disorder which he suffered after he was duped,” his bossom friend Emakpor Dibofun revealed.
“He has been to several places in search of a lasting solution, but it gets worse after a bit of improvement.”
A former Nigeria international and former Chairman of Lagos State Football Association, Waidi Akanni, also added that plans by Oruma’s ex teammates to help resuscitate him to normal life was ongoing.
“We have contacted some of his colleagues whom he played with during his days at the national team and there have been positive news regarding what we are trying to do,” Akanni told Complete Sports.
“But nothing more I can discuss publicly just yet, but he needs help.
“We just pray all goes well, so we can help him out of this precarious situation.”
Oruma featured for Nigeria at U-17, U-23 and the senior team, the Super Eagles.
He also starred for RC Lens, Nancy, Samsunspor, Nimes, Servette, Sochaux, Marseille and Guingamp, and Kavala FC of Greece before he retired at the age of 33 on November 26, 2010.
