Pondei has been rushed out of the Conference Room 231, venue of the investigative hearing on illegal spending and mismanagement of funds in the commission.
The Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Daniel Pondei, has fainted while being questioned by the House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission.
He fainted while he was being asked about the spending of the commission since he took over.
Mr Pondei was responding to claims of 1.5billion money related misappropriation when he suddenly collapsed and couldn’t respond to questions from the chairman of the probe panel. The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, however, stayed behind.

Efforts from another witness to resuscitate him were however effective when he regained consciousness shortly afterwards.
Members of the committee are still debating whether to suspend the hearing or not.
