Acting Managing Director, Niger Delta Development Company (NDDC) Prof. Kemebradikumo Pondei (middle) slumped during public hearing on allegations of mismanagement of funds running into billions of naira at the National Assembly in Abuja…yesterday

The sitting, yesterday, in Abuja by the House of Representatives committee probing the alleged misuse of N81bn by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) witnessed dramatic scenes.

The drama unfolded when the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Apkabio and the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Prof. Kemebradikumo Daniel Pondei took turns to testify.

Pondei was the first to testify.He mounted the stage and was grilled over alleged extra-budgetary expenditure by the Commission under his leadership. The exercise turned tragic as Pondei suddenly slumped. Pondei’s eyes popped out as he appeared to lose consciousness. Cans of Pepsi, water and Malt were shoved into his mouth to resuscitate him.

A man in a grey suit could be seen shoving his fingers into Pondei’s mouth in an attempt to return him to consciousness.

NDDC Acting MD Prof. Pondei
