In a fresh interview with Premium Times, former President Obasanjo said the Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who worked in his administration as Minister of Finance and later resigned is different from the one who worked in the Jonathan-led administration. Really, Baba? Lol. Excerpt from the interview below
"Take Ngozi (Okonjo-Iweala), who worked for me. And who worked competently for me. Because I know Ngozi’s weaknesses, but I know her strong points. Her strong point is technical competence. But Ngozi needs to be led and to be supervised. Now will you comment on Ngozi who worked for me as the same Ngozi who worked for Jonathan? Will you? But it’s the same person"

Authorities are investigating why a 48-year-old man lost consciousness and died just after being detained in the lobby of the Dallas County jail Saturday morning.

According to authorities, Joseph Sheldon Hutcheson ran into the building sometime after 10 a.m., yelled for help, but was placed in handcuffs, lost consciousness and died.

Raul Reyna, the Dallas County sheriff’s office spokesman, said Hutcheson parked his pickup in the crosswalk and ran into the jail’s south tower, yelling that his wife was trying to kill him, Reyna said.

A deputy restrained Hutcheson with handcuffs, “believing that he may be a threat to himself or others until they could calm the man down,” Reyna said in an email.
An eye witness, April Berryhill, who was at the jail to submit a property release form, said she saw one sheriff’s deputy with his knee on Hutcheson’s back and another one with a knee on his throat.

Berryhill said Hutcheson told deputies he couldn’t breathe before they uncuffed him and laid him down on his back.
