Pondei, who expressed surprise that people thought he was mimicking actors in movies when he fainted during the probe, told Vanguard that he had a mysterious and unpredictable health challenge that led to the scenario.

“I had an unexplained, unexpected health challenge. It is ridiculous to think that people believed I was acting.

“I would not pray for anyone to experience what I went through. I do not run from issues. I have put all that behind me” , the MD said.

Thelagostimes recalls that Pondei slumped while taking questions from the members of the House of Reps committee.

He had appeared alongside the Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio to answer questions on issues bothering on financial misconduct in the commission.
