Acting MD of NDDC, Prof. Daniel Pondei, suddenly collapses while fielding questions from House of Representatives Committee investigating alleged financial malfeasance in the NDDC on Monday.
He was given first aid before he was carried out of the Conference room and straight to the hospital.
The committee had grilled him for about 45 minutes before he passed out.
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 Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, however, stayed behind.
Details later.
