Nigerians on Monday reacted to
the drama which ensued at the ongoing investigation into the alleged fraudulent
activities in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)
He had appeared alongside the
Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio on Monday.
Pondei who had walked out on the
committee last week was been grilled by the committee led by Thomas Ereyitomi.

media queried why government officials under probe for corruption mostly faint
when grilled.
Others prayed for Pondei’s quick
recovery to allow for continuation of the probe.
