Matthew Ajibade, 22,
Nigerian student died in police custody sometime ago after he was kicked and beaten by police
during a booking process where he was said to be combative and fought back.
(read previous storyhere ). However last week, during a trial of the case,
shocking footage taken inside the Georgia jail where Matthew was booked showed
him being kicked and punched in the head during the fight with police officer.
He was left alone in restraints for an hour-and-a-half after the violence, at
which point he was found dead. See the photos after the cut...
The three former jail employees, who battled with him, are now in trial charged over his death. They were charged for policy and procedure violations that prosecutors say contributed to Ajibade's death.
Ajibade
was arrested on domestic violence charges on New Year’s Day 2015 when the
incident happened. In the video, Ajibade could be seen arguing with the police
officers who call for back off. One officer tried to tackle him to the ground
and Ajibade resisted. As she tried to taser him, Ajibade grabbed the taser and
that was when another officer attacked him. The officer is seen in the video
kicking the back of Ajibade's head at which point he stopped resisting.
