Central African Republic Cannibal Details How He Ate A Muslim’s Flesh [VIDEO]
Central African Republic cannibal Ouandja Magloire recounted the gruesome incident in which he ate the flesh of a Muslim an angry crowd had dragged from a bus. He calls himself “Mad Dog,” and he proudly detailed what how he burned the man and ate him.
The horrific act of cannibalism took place in the capital of Bangui and was caught on camera earlier in January. A witness said that the Muslim was dragged from a bus by a crowd before he was fatally assaulted. They kept attacking him even after he was dead.
“They set the body on fire. There were about 20 youths. They cut a whole leg off. Then one of them started to eat it. He bit into it four times and swallowed. It was raw, not burned,” witness Ghislein Nzoto told BBC.
Speaking exclusively to BBC, Magloire said that he saw their victim on the minibus. And thinking that he looked Muslim, he followed the bus until more and more people joined him. They told the driver to stop, and the driver agreed, saying that the man was a Muslim.
“I kicked his legs out from under him. He fell down. I stabbed his eyes,” Magloire told reporter Paul Wood.
“Muslim! Muslim! Muslim! I stabbed him in the head. I poured petrol on him. I burned him. Then I ate his leg, the whole thing right down to the white bone. That’s why people call me Mad Dog.”
The video shows Mad Dog taking a mouthful of the victim’s flesh, chewing it while his cheeks bulge from the meat.
“I am angry,” was his only explanation of why he did that.
Apparently, he also saved some of the dead man’s flesh and ate it between two halves of a baguette with a side of okra the next day.
Magloire was seeking revenge against Muslims for killing his pregnant wife and her sister-in-law and her new baby.
No one helped the man as he was being attacked by the vicious mob. Nzoto said that everyone was so angry with the Muslims that no one intervened.
The nation’s first Muslim president, Michel Djotodia, stepped down from his position on Friday as his Seleka rebels were accused of murdering Christians, raping women, and looting across the country. The Christians learned to fight back, forming self-defence groups known as anti-balaka.
Although the BBC reporter noted that the case wasn’t a simple Christian versus Muslim story and that Magloire’s ghastly crime was just his own way of revenge, a small gathering crowd of Christians already consider him as a hero.
