OMG, 22 Year Old Nigerian Student Matthew Ajibade Dies in Police Custody in United States.

Local news reports state that Ajibade’s girlfriend who called the police. When officers arrived at the scene, Ajibade was said to be standing with his girlfriend, and holding her tightly. They both had a blanket over their heads.

The girlfriend subsequently removed the blanket when authorities arrived, and when she did so, her face appeared to be bruised and her nose was bleeding, police allege.

The police report also states that, Ajibade “started to resist apprehension in a violent manner, and was taken to the ground, so that he could be handcuffed.”

Authorities say he was placed in an isolation cell because “he became combative with deputies while being booked and his behavior was deemed dangerous.”

Ajibade eventually died in the cell.

His family is demanding answers, and insists that he should have been taken to the hospital instead of jail.
