The Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Professor Kemebradikumo Daniel Pondei, has fainted under interrogations.
Pondei, a professor of medicine, suddenly lost consciousness in the heat of persistent questions over budgetary provisions over some spendings of the commission.
Apparently not satisfied with his answers the questions kept coming in but at about 1.05pm, Pondei placed his head on the desk and gradually was going down when people rushed to his rescue to revive him.
He was subsequently taken out of the probe panel venue after to the hospital.
Pondei had asked the House committee if the same procedure used for him was what was used for others before him, as the panel members were obviously seen trying heard not to allow Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, to take the stage and talk.
